The Graduate

Will's sweet preschool doesn't do the whole cap and gown ceremony, but they did a special program to honor the kids who will be movin' on up to Kindergarten in the fall. I am an emotional person anyway, and I am sure being pregnant did not help matters, but I sat and cried through the entire thing. Ms. Diane, the program director started with a poem that reminded me of the book "Let me hold you longer," by Karen Kingsbury (If you do not have this book, go get it today....it is a children's book). The poem didn't necessarily talk about "lasts" but reminded me of how special and sweet this time in our lives is.....regardless of the chaos and crazy!

They sang about 10 songs and this picture was taken during the last one-it was called "Friends Forever" and was the sweetest, most precious thing you have ever heard 5 year olds sing. Will couldn't have had a better spot. He was in between Gabe, who he has been in the same class and friends with since he was 19 months old, and Kate, his friend by default :) We have had photo shoots with Kate since they were born and I am so thankful they were in the same class this year and will move on to kindergarten together.

 So special that Yia Yia and Papou could join us for Will's graduation!

 Will and Kate...after all of this history, they better AT LEAST be best friends growing up :) I'm still hoping for a wedding! They are currently more like brother and sister :)

 Family picture-I am about to POP and have no more makeup on because as I said earlier, I cried through the entire thing.

We finished out the day by picking Alex up and heading to Johnny Rockets for a celebratory lunch (Will's pick!).
