 After the ceremony.

 Cute!

With their three favorite teacher aids. Mrs. Rammel, Mrs. Zajicek and Mrs. Lammle. These three were really great to the kids over these last two years. Mrs. Rammel lives two doors down from Dale and Ellen, so we will probably see her periodically. Mrs. Lammle is moving to Kansas, so that is sad for Messiah. These are three really great ladies, we appreciate everything they did for the kids.

The ceremony was Monday night, same day as their last day of school. It was long, because Mrs. Thimijan called every kids' name and then posed for pictures. The kids were so proud of themselves, though! They brought home 3 books (an ABC, shape/color and all about me) that they worked on all year. They've read them about 20 times since Monday. Both Brian and I were a little sad that they've already graduated from preschool, but they are growing up fast and definitely ready for kindergarten. My dad didn't help much by telling me that this was just the first in a long line of simultaneous graduations "elementary school, middle school, high school, college, medical school, residence......" Funny dad!
