It's the end of another school year and that means one thing: ceremonies. There seems to be a graduation from every grade now, a party for each milestone, and a ceremony for every minute thing that goes on! Of course it feeds into our desire to be recognized for things we are accomplishing so it is kind of nice....but man they are all stacked up on each other!! For this first installment, and yes, there will most likely be a second, I will focus on just a few things that have happened in the last week.
The girls had their girl scout ceremony last week. Ava officially bridged or moved up from a Brownie to a Junior. This is the girls 4th year in girl scouts and we still love it!
Here she is walking across the long bridge ready to be greeted with a big ol' group hug as she becomes a Junior.
And here is our wacko wonderful perfect little troop!
Elle also preformed at her very last band concert this week. It was bittersweet. It's hard to see a talent grow in your child, and then watch them walk away from it. She didn't dislike band...she just lost interest. She had the ability, but not the desire and I am not about to drag her dead weight self through a second year of band, when it gets harder...oh and we now get back $60 a month that we were paying to rent the maramba that she barely practiced on. Nice.
Her percussion teacher, Mr. Leach
Lastly, Shawn and I celebrated our 17th anniversary the other day. We went to Austin and tried out a new Mexican food place on Congress Avenue, then went on a carriage ride up to the Capital and ended the date with Amy's Icecream. It was a fun date and it's hard to even think we've been married that long!
