Graduation time (little kid style)

On Wednesday of last week, Lily "graduated" from Kindergarten.  St Simon has a little ceremony each year where the kids have their names called and receive a certificate.   It's hard to believe a whole year has gone by and she's ready for first grade.  She just loved school this year and made it through with flying colors.  Her reading evaluation has her reading at a "middle of second grade" level.  Such a smarty pants! The first picture is Lily with Father Bill (world's best priest) and her good friends Zoe, Mary and Quinn.  The bottom picture is Lily with Mrs. Sweeney, her teacher.

Then on Thursday Addy "graduated" from preschool. They were also given certificates declaring them ready for kindergarten.  Addy also had a send off program on Tuesday night.  They officially wrapped up school and are ready for summer! First picture is Addy with best friend Maeve and their teachers Mrs. Ferguson and Mrs. Schildemeyer.  Then a group shot of all best friends (Maeve, and her sisters Neely and Tula who are best friends with Lily and Miri - how handy).  THEN, the long awaited Carter sighting.  Carter is Addy's special friend (don't call him her boyfriend or she'll get mad). He may or may not send her presents in the mail from time to time.
