Elias has graduated from 6th Grade!

On 1 June, Elias graduated from 6th grade.  He is Valedictorian and we are very proud of him.  He did a great job on his speech, receiving only a small amount of help and guidance in writing it.  Here is a viewing of both his and his buddy's speech. 

If Chad's copy of the speech is better than what I got, I will post that one as well!

More pictures to follow of Jesse's Kindergarten graduation, which took place the day before.

Jesse's Sunday adventure

Sunday morning, Jesse was joining me on the stand just as church was about to start when he slipped and fell, hitting his head on the metal leg of one of the choir seats.  These pictures were taken on Monday when I removed the bandage for the first time.  He wasn't giggling as I took the bandage off, but was very happy it was finally gone!


This is a good shot of the results. Five stitches and a little more than an hour, we were back at church answering quite a few questions.

This little look is due to the fact that I can't help calling him my "Baby Frankenstein" he is just so cute!

He was a brave little guy and they did a wonderful job on the stitching. It probably won't scar very noticeably.

His favorite little puppy just had to get in the last picture, and the first one if I remember correctly.  On the way home from church, he said, "You know,Mom, I didn't get any bread or water at church today." What a great kid to notice the important things even when he has just gone through a little trauma.
