Graduation Day

We had two people in our family graduating this year, Rylann and Uncle Aru. And the ceremonies just happened to occur on the same day. Rylann was pretty blase about her promotion from preschool to kindergarten, and was basically over it as soon as the ceremony began. She much preferred watching her beloved uncle graduate from high school, and so did Tristan, since he was able to munch on cookies and guzzle juice at the reception. In fact, there are very few pictures of Tristan from this day since most are either a running blur, or a crumb covered, eating monster.

Look! She's happy! She's excited! And then...



I survived preschool, and all I got was this lousy certificate.

You can almost feel the love, can't you?



And here Tristan is, displaying the boorish manners of a one year old.
Yes, that bread *was* supposed to be for the whole table.

Savoring every last little piggy bite.
