It's been a busy few weeks, starting with Georgia's last term as a camper at Camp Mystic and ending with the beginning of her last year at Ann Richards. Already?! It appears so. It also appears that she is thoroughly enjoying every moment. And as bittersweet as it all is, so are we.
Over the next two months, she'll be focused on college applications, a dual-credit science class, and her new position on the Teen Council for The Contemporary Austin, a fantastic local art museum. She'll be discussing and learning about art with other teens and planning events to encourage more teens to visit the museum. She actually gets paid a bit for her work, so she's calling it her first job - our little-ish working artist!
All good things are coming Georgia's way, and she deserves every one. She has worked so hard, grown so much, and made us prouder than proud. On the eve of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and in light of what many of our family and friends are enduring in Southeast Texas right now, we are beyond grateful.
First first day/Last first day
In six years, the only time she got a top bunk!
Modeling the shirts she designed for Field Day - Go Kiowas!
Showing off her deck tennis skills ...
and her cooking skills ...
and her balancing skills, I guess?
Sassy!
Laughing during her Vespers presentation, having just swallowed a bug!
Last campfire.
Sweet friends.
More tribe art by the artist herself.
One more logo design - it was so close to the real deal, the t-shirt shop wouldn't print it! The inspiration is a song that the Aides perform in the dining hall using their serving trays as props, so she at least got to paint it on the board that will stay in the Aides' cabin for years to come.
Reunited!
And then she got home, and this happened:
First first day/Last first day at Ann Richards - with a Clementine photobomb.
Senior and 8th Grader!
Sister Power, indeed.
Senior flashmob. I cried.
It's going to be such a great year.
