Kindergarten's End

Ryan graduated from Kindergarten this month. All the children were adorable. They sang for us and told us all about themselves. They demonstrated their French skills and they even did a song using the sign language alphabet. My favorite part is always the part when your child comes and finds you in the audience and gives you a flower. :-) The first words out of his mouth the next morning were, "I'm a first grader!"

The kids had to wear what they would normally wear for chapel day which would be a button up shirt and slacks. Ryan insisted on wearing a tie so we got him a new shirt and tie for the occasion.

More Milestones

Shelby turned 11 in May. How does it go so fast? Believe it or not all the girls in the photo are the same age - check out the size difference! In fact, the tallest girl was only 10. Shelby wanted a Hawaiian party so we had hats and leis and coconut cups. We made our own little pizzas which of course included ham and pineapple. There was a pineapple pinata and games and LOTS of noise. Shelby even found a blow up palm tree that was quite the challenge to keep inflated. The party was designed as a sleepover but only one of the girls was actually able to spend the night. I was grateful for that since Bill ended up being sick and the girls were NOISY. Oh, I guess I said that before - but they were! They sure had fun though.
