graduation

It finally came.  Graduation day.  

Sam and Isaac took off for school... Sam's last day of school.  He looked at me in his rear view mirror and waved.  I felt the familiar lump in my throat and my eyes filled with tears. . .

A scene I wouldn't see again. . .

We made it to the Recognition Assembly.  Lots of awards. . . the tennis team was honored.

3-sport Senior athletes were honored.

And it begins.  I sat in the arena wondering how we got to this point.  It didn't feel real.  

Sam spotted us:)  

The band sounded awesome.  Isaac is in the middle playing his trumpet.

Each Senior handed Mr. Zutz a lego piece as they shook his hand.  The last student gave him the directions to a lego car that he would build with all the pieces he received :)

A congratulations hug from Mr. Reynolds. . .  Sam will miss him so much.

What a good feeling to see family all around you. . .

What did Sam call this?  photo-bombing??  haha!

Grandpa Don and Jo. . .

friends. . .

what would we do without Grandma. . .

. . . more friends

 what a great hug. . . I'm going to miss these kids so much.

. . . to quote Sam, "there is nothing like a gang of little boys". :)

. . . Sam's turn!

. . . Henley and Grandpa Jeff :)

blessed by their presence. . .

. . . good friends
