Seminary graduation was the last Sunday in May. Summer finished all four years. Rachel finished her first two. We are proud of them both. It takes dedication to get up and go in the early morning and I am so glad our girls have made it a priority.
The week that followed held - count them - three more graduations, starting with Michael's -
He was Master of Ceremonies, which meant he welcomed everyone and handed the mike over to the people who were really in charge. Coming from a sometimes shy family, I thought he did really well!
Here are all the graduates, dressed up as what they want to become (well, except Michael didn't have his whole getup on yet).
But you can see him dressed up as a zookeeper here -
Gwen also graduated, or promoted, from Elementary school.
Here she is shaking the principal's hand.
Each sixth grade teacher gave six awards, one of each of the following to a boy and a girl - Good Citizen, Most Improved and 110% Effort. I was touched by what Gwen's teacher had to say about the winners of her final award -
And then, the biggest of all, Summer's High School Graduation!
For all those grandparents and other interested parties who would like to see her receive her diploma, here it is -
We all love her and will miss her so very, very much!

GREAT post, it even made me a little teary! I can't believe Summer is gone already, hope she is enjoying it in Provo.
What a busy time! That's so wonderful that Michael had a special job and that Gwen got that great award. Summer looks so pretty!
Allison - it makes me teary, too!
And, thanks, Alyssa :)
