Birthday Boy and Elementary School Graduate

Today is Zachary's birthday.  Zachary is holding one of his presents at the moment, waiting for his dad to quit working so that he can open them.   He had to change one present for another as he is wearing the wrapping paper down and it is starting to tear. 


Zachary also graduated from elementary school today.  We went to his 5th grade graduation.  Sadly, it took longer for him to graduate from elementary school than it did for Hannah to graduate from high school.  Might I add that the bleachers we were sitting on didn't help the matter. I will just say up front that I was having camera difficulties today. Or maybe they were Jennifer difficulties.  Either way I didn't get the pictures that I wanted and some were just a blur.  Maybe I'll have better luck tomorrow, when we get to repeat the experience again for Savannah to graduate form middle school and move on to high school.  That makes her dad really nervous!

Zachary going to line up for his diploma.

I am ready to get out of here!

5th grade is over!  Middle school here I come!

As you can tell, the shots I missed were of him getting his certificate and shaking the principal's hand.  Oh well.

Hours later...

I had to put this post on hold while we went out to dinner.  Zachary wanted steak and since we can't seem to get enough rain around here, grilling was out.  We let him open his presents and headed out to dinner for some steak.  It has been a long day, so I'll have to post more birthday pictures later.  And yes, I am still having picture issues :(
