Graduating Class of 2009!

 

I thought I'd share some grad pics with you. My Jonah is in the back row with the dark purple shirt, and the wild blonde hair. (He did have it cut for grad...hard to tell I know...but I do love his long blonde locks!) About half of them have been together in the same class since kindergarten...so graduation was very bittersweet, as they will be scattered throughout the city next year. Two of the girls will return to Korea (foreign exchange students), and one fellow returns to Mexico to be with his family (He came only for grade 8 to learn to speak English, and very quickly became the class clown and everybody's darling!! He will be missed!!)
 

This is a pic I took of them goofing off at the grad party we held at our place the day after graduation. Much less serious...until about an hour before the party was scheduled to end...then they were very emotional...crying and hugging and sooooooo melodramatic. They had a good day, though, and the rain held off until about a half hour after they were all gone!!

Nothing crafty today...I've been on nights non-stop since coming home from holidays...hopefully this week I can go up to play. I got a couple of new Cricut cartridges for my birthday, and I really want to play with those!!

Thanks for stopping by. Shirley.
