The Kids, They Are A'Graduatin'


We attended Brooke’s 6th-grade graduation on Friday. It went just fine, as graduations go. One thing I wasn’t expecting was to puddle up when the graduating class came into the gym, but I did. I’m not sure why. Probably because it is a milestone in Brooke’s life, going from elementary school to junior high. Or maybe because she is that much closer to growing up and leaving innocence behind. Probably a combination of both.

On the docket for this week, Faith’s graduation from Lindon Elementary preschool on Tuesday, then on Friday, both Faith and Anna graduate from Brighter Child preschool. I will be sad to leave Miss Cammie’s school where the littles have been attending for two years, but I won’t miss paying preschool tuition.

Somewhere along the line, Hope has junior-high graduation ceremonies, although I haven’t received notification. Then again, maybe it’s in the pile of mail waiting to be opened, or somewhere in Hope’s backpack. Either way, her grad has to be this week as school ends on Friday.

It is kind of frightening the kids are growing up so fast. Remember when we use to joke that we couldn't wait for them to get older? Someone is speeding up the clock on us. Brooke looks really cute in the pic.
