Today's post is simply personal. Yesterday John and I attened our very last Awards Ceremony at our sons' school, a total of 15 years has been spent at this school. It will feel odd to drive past in the Fall and realize we no longer have anyone attending.
It was a lovely ceremony recognizing the achievements of these talented young men and women. We were immensely proud of Pierce as he was recognized as a National Merit Scholarship Finalist and received an award for an essay he wrote analyzing John Steinbeck's East of Eden. The faculty commented in the presentation that this was not an assignment rather written out of his desire to explore the themes of the novel at a deeper level. Not bad for a Science and Math kid!
Today we prepare for Graduation with much excitement in the air. We are beaming with pride.
When your children are young people tell you the time goes by fast and enjoy each moment. At that time in your life, you are juggling so much you cannot imagine it going by fast, yet it does. I am so pleased to have captured the many moments of our lives through scrapbooking. As we flip the pages of the scrapbooks we see the rich tapestry we have woven as a family – priceless!
Today will mark the end of one chapter of our life and the next chapter begins. I look forward to watching the story continue to unfold. It has been amazing so far!
Have a wonderful day!
