Eli's 5th Grade Year

We have made it to the end of the school year!  Whew, this has felt like a long year between really hitting it hard before the baby was born, then a long break and then pushing really hard from January until now to get it done!  I am always thankful and relieved when we make it to the end of the year and realize how far we've come!  Eli was the first one done this year and he had a pretty great 5th grade year. He would still rather be doing pretty much anything over school, but he puts in the work when he needs to and is very smart! We will do a little celebration for him soon as he "graduates" elementary school and moves on to middle school! I can't believe I now have 2 middle schoolers. I worked with middle schoolers for years and years at church and it is just hard to believe I have kids in that age group now!
