Year 8: One down, one to go

      This post has been a long time coming.  Not just for the fact that most of summer has passed since I last posted and this has been sitting in my drafts since the end of July, but also because this post has been six years in the making.

I've graduated my first born, my first high schooler. 

A380 has completed high school!



     I don't have pictures yet (it's been a very busy summer) but we let him decide how he wanted to celebrate.  He chose to have a family meal at his favorite prime rib restaurant where The Principal and I presented him with his certificate.  We're so proud of him!

     Writing this is, of course, bittersweet.  We're in the midst of a pandemic trying to figure out what's next for him.  There are several different options but it will take some time to make the calls, schedule the appointments and go through the process before deciding which one would be best.  Still, he's excited.

     Year 9 starts in a couple of weeks and before I know it I'll be graduating Little Toughie.  Aaaahhh!!
