Let summer begin!

It's official! I have a graduated Kindergartner!
The thought of this little guy
being gone ALL day for first grade...
makes my stomach feel sick.
really.
Lou says I'm not allowed to think about it for the next 3 months.:)
His graduation program was so sweet.
We were all so proud, but no one as proud as his sis.
As the above picture shows...she sat front and center,
(in the middle of the isle)
the entire time!
I also have graduates from preschool,
4rth, 7th, and 10th grade!
As much as I adore the years when they are little,
I can see how much fun it is
as they are getting older as well.
they may cause a few more grays...;)
but fun!
These are some of my favorite people
in the whole world.
We kept to tradition
and celebrated the first day of summer,
with shaved ice and a trip to the library!.
However,
I'm not sure how much longer my big kids
will let me take a picture in the library!;)
Love having a less scheduled life.
Love having my kids home more.
Love that summer is here!
(somehow my now junior in high school, missed the library...
it may also have something to do with his new drivers license??)

Congratulations McKay! I'm curious...where did you go first? I've loved having the older kids be able to drive. No more late night pick ups!

JoLyn, your little ones are looking very grown up. Love the book picture! We need some Buhrley time!
