High School Here I Come

Savannah had her 8th grade graduation this morning.  Again, it took longer to graduate her from middle school than to graduate Hannah from high school.  They should really work on this.  One advantage of having Zachary's graduation the day before is that we decided to climb to the top row of bleachers so we could lean back against the wall when our backs got tired from sitting there so long.  Again, I had a few camera issues/ Jennifer issues.  Oh, well.

I tried to get some earlier pictures of Savannah, but they all turned out blurry.  This is her waiting in line for her name to be called to get her certificate.  She has just said thank you to the academy. 

 Confused?  

Savannah told me last night that she really just wanted to walk by and grab the mic and say, "I would like to thank the academy".  Since she would get in trouble for this, I told her I would be watching and she could look and me and I would know what she was thinking.  In the picture below, she had just mouthed to me, "I would like to thank the academy".  I am so proud!

I at least did get her picture shaking the principal's hand and receiving her certificate.

I have my certificate.  8th grade is over.  High School here I come!

We got back home after a 2 hour ceremony.  Before she could change, I wanted to get a picture of her all dressed up with her flowers and certificate.  Congratulations Savannah!

And so summer begins!
