graduation season 2017

The 6th grade graduated on Friday, June 16^th. It's cool that I had only 12 classes left a week till the end of the semester!
I got the jelly and onion rings from a 4th grade birthday girl just before the class started. I hit upon the idea of asking the class to sing Happy Birthday Song and accompanying them on piano in class.

Watching our kids reach new milestones can be bittersweet as a parent. It means they're growing and learning which is amazing and makes us so proud, but it also means they're getting BIGGER which, let's face it- is kinda sad!
Regis graduated from kindergarten today. I can't believe my second born "baby" is leaving kindergarten at the end of this month and going into elementary. It seems like yesterday that he was just starting school when he was 3.5.
