Another Year, Another Picture [School]
I have forsaken my blogging duties for most of the summer–everyone needs a break, right? But today marks the start of the school in HP, so Speed, Layla, and Emma are transitioning back into their school routines. Predictably, Speed is … Continue reading
New School Year Mean New Header [Administration]
I used to make headers out of random pictures that I just found interesting–and that amazingly enough fit the extreme width/height requirements. But for the last couple of years, I’ve settled on using the first day of school photos taken … Continue reading
The Official Big Graduation Remembrance [School]
Whatever my duties around here, I’ve been quite remiss in fulfilling them at least since Holly ran her Alaskan marathon. And while I’d love to say that it’s because nothing much has been happening around here, I cannot tell that lie. … Continue reading
And Then The Big Graduation [School]
I’ve delayed this for too long. I have to face it. Covering Baccalaureate was not sufficient. A week ago Friday night (on the heels of Emma’s elementary school graduation), Madysen officially graduated from high school. *breathes into paper bag* But … Continue reading
The Little One’s Graduation First [School]
As I mentioned with regard to Madysen’s Baccalaureate, Friday was a big day with two graduations. We’ll start with the simpler one–Emma’s 4th Grade Graduation from Bradfield Elementary. Layla did this two years ago, and it seems like many people … Continue reading
It’s Here, Baccalaureate is Really Here [School]

So Close I’m Physically Ill [School]
Today marks the final real day of high school for Madysen as she took her last AP exam. I’m not ready for this.
A Surprising New Artiste In The Family [Dance]
I’ve been told that Speed’s elective choice for this school year was either Art or Dance. Surprising, at least to me, is that he chose Dance. Throughout the year, he has refused pleas to show us his dance moves (other … Continue reading
Education Cutbacks Lead To Roadkill Projects? [School]
I was not expecting this would come home in Emma’s Friday folder. I don’t really know what to say here, beyond noting that I love the fact that all the extra little pieces that she couldn’t find a place for … Continue reading
Mardi Gras And Cinco De Mayo Have Something In Common [Dance]
A couple Saturday’s ago, Madysen and Speed went–separately–to the Hi-Lites dance. The theme was something to do with holidays, so Madysen went as, gulp, Mardi Gras, Speed as Cinco de Mayo. Unfortunately, I’ve been unable to locate any pictures on … Continue reading
