Jonathan the Graduate

Jonathan graduated from elementary school (grade 8) yesterday. Mom and Dad used the only two allotted tickets to attend the ceremony during the day, and Sue and I joined them for a restaurant dinner.

As is my custom, I made a little card.

I assume that the parents took a few photos at the ceremony, but I haven't seen the evidence yet. Of course, we did take a few pictures at dinner.




Onto high school.

Health Update

I was feeling better and enjoyed a full big burger at the restaurant. Just one day earlier that wouldn't have been the case. Last evening, I mused that I hadn't quite realized how poorly I was feeling until I looked back once I was beginning to feel better. Hopefully, progress will continue as I finish the prescription tomorrow.

I did have to change once during the night, but once is better than five times. Progress.

Wow, I almost thought he was ready to graduate from high school...what with all his serious hockey playing! Now he gets to stretch more mental muscles. Not sure what an instigator does, with sticks and rolls of some kind especially. Glad to hear you're on the mend. I keep telling myself, baby steps. So I don't over-do, of course.

Congrats to Jonathan on his grade school graduation and he is growing up as fast as our own grands, as is Danica. You have also documented their growing up years well in your posts as I can remember seeing those earlier photos. Many thanks for the compliment on my current blog post as well.

AC, last, but certainly not least, the update on your night sweats and overall generally feeling better was good to read. May it continue to improve.

How old is an elementary school grad? Ours would be eleven.

gigi-hawaii said...

Congrats to the beautiful boy! He looks older than 8th grade. Like maybe 10th grade? Haha.
