Time flies when you're having fun... and growing up way too fast! With the end of the 2024-2025 school year, we’re officially closing the chapter on elementary school for my granddaughter Beckett at Doss Elementary! Her 5th grade graduation was a blast, full of cheers, hugs, and a few happy tears. It feels like just yesterday she was learning how to tie her shoes and now she’s confidently walking across the stage, ready to tackle class changes, and middle school adventures. I'm beyond proud of Beckett as she spreads her wings and heads to Murchison Middle School this fall, where she’ll join her big brother Hudson. Those two are quite the dynamic duo, and I know they’ll make the most of this new journey together. Here’s to the bright future ahead and all the exciting firsts still to come...
