The only school Trevor knows is preschool, so whenever he prays he asks for "me and Dad to do good at preschool." Now we officially have two "preschool" graduates. Trevor still has one more year before starting kindergarten, but here he is with his first teacher, Sister Willard. At graduation she described him as a "born leader" and I know she was very patient with his arguments more than once.
For myself, I'm really grateful for the chance I had to teach this year. It was one of those things that worked out perfectly for our family situation: Trevor got a little something to keep him busy, I was able to enjoy teaching again (and not pay for preschool!) and Haley could stay with me and nap. I would like to try teaching from my own house someday, but it will have to be another situation with good timing. For now I'm glad to have a break.
And finally.....Birch's graduation! Here are the families we were close to during medical school. It's been hard saying good-bye the last few weeks to some of them as they move to other places for residency. Having other families going through the same situation meant more to me than I expected.
The hooding! Birch's parents and I went onstage to hood him together.
Our little family after it's all over. I actually love Trevor's face in this picture. :)
Birch with his parents. Education is really important to them and I could tell how proud they were of him.
And here's everyone who drove here to support us, thank you!
