June: Kindergarten Graduation 2009

Ah, yes, another kindergarten graduation. Why they do this tradition baffles me. But, to its defense, the crowds were enormous and every kid there thought they were hot stuff. Including my two hot stuff chicks!

Lizzy with the best teacher in the world, Mrs Robino.

Sophie and the best teacher in the world...
Chelsea, who just made her debut as the "nanny" for the summer along with Ethan were in the crowd cheering on the youngsters...

Riley, Sophie, Lauren and Lizzy...

Proud mom or "Mama" as Lizzy calls me.

Lizzy, Nyah, Sophie, and Ethan (the perpetual sidekick)....
Sophie and Mom... (Sophie was the youngest in her class and made the deadline by 9 days. We realized our mistake by 3 months into kindergarten that she wasn't ready. She tried her darndest and actually met benchmark for advancement, but both Brian and I decided that the best thing for Sophie was another year back with Mrs. Robino. When we broke the news to Sophie this summer, she was relieved, excited, and happy! We had her tutored by her Aunt Anne who did a fabulous job and she will now be light years ahead of her kindergarten classmates and have a fresh start. The best thing about this move is that she will have 5 little girls from her church in her class!)
Ethan, Lizzy, Sophie, Bennett, and Scotty (the boyfriends:)


HAPPY KINDERGARTEN GRADUATION GIRLS!!!

Only 16 to 18 more years expected from both of you!
