Kindergarten Graduation

My first baby graduated Kindergarten last week!!! I cannot believe it. It doesn't seem like that long ago that he was marching up to the school for his first day. I'm not going to lie...I got a little teary seeing him stand on the stage. It's all going by too fast. 
 We celebrated the big day by having grandparents come to town for dinner, and then we all went and watched the ceremony. When each child was called up to receive their diploma, the teachers would read a godly characteristic that thy had seen manifested in each kid's life throughout the year. For Ethan, his sweet teacher chose "Friendship" as a word that described him. She said, "Ethan is a fun, kind-hearted young man that is a friend to everyone and loved by all." That was fun to hear!
The kiddos surprised the parents with a song they had practiced - a song with all the books of the Bible. And of course there was a slide show of the year. We closed the night out with Paw Paw treating everyone to ice cream. It was a great night and sweet mile stone in my first born's life. Now on to summer, no homework and lots of swimming!

This made me teary just reading it. It did go by so fast and I'm so not ready to start this journey with my baby this fall. Sounds like such a sweet school too.
