Hey everyone! Nikki here today and yesterday was my son Avery&#8217;s\u00a0 last day of First Grade. He goes to a private Christian school, so our summer vacations tend to be a little longer than those in the public schools. I know by about mid-June I will probably be counting down the days til school starts back but right now I&#8217;m rejoicing. Although Avery&#8217;s made very good grades this year, his ability to focus and stay on task\u00a0 has caused us to have some ups and downs. I think it became much more of a problem once his Daddy deployed to Afghanistan in January. He has a hard time expressing his emotions and unfortunately it can come out in his behavior at school. But we made it! We&#8217;ve got some things going on this summer to hopefully help him with the problems we had this year and so I look forward to 2nd grade in the fall with lots of Hope and Optimism.<\/p>\n<p>But right now it&#8217;s vacation time! We&#8217;ve got several things to look forward to this summer&#8230;Avery&#8217;s birthday is next week..my baby boy will be SEVEN! So he&#8217;s looking forward to his party. We&#8217;re heading out for a vacation in Panama City Beach mid-June with my sister and her kids and both of my parents. Then in July my husband will home for 2 whole weeks! To say I&#8217;m looking forward to that is an understatement! By then it will be 6 months since we saw him last. I can&#8217;t wait!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll close with a couple of then and now shots of Avery..first and last day of First Grade.
