Photo Class

I took a photo class in April/May.  It was my third time taking one (the second time in the past three months actually) and things finally started to make sense.  Well, in theory anyway.  I shot entirely in manual for the class and when I set out to do my first homework assignment things were either way over or way under-exposed.

Preschool Graduation

So adorable and Lainey was SO excited about it.  The kids sang some songs, then they each walked across the stage to get their diplomas/certificates of completion from the minister.

I think Lainey's favorite part was when the kids sang "A Toota Ta" and the parents were expected to participate (our family was on the front row).  Weeks ago, when Lainey and Ellie first came home, and excitedly demonstrated this song, they were surprised to find that I already knew it (thanks to girls camp).

Some song about colors:

Notice the pipe cleaner necklace Lainey made for herself, especially for this occasion.

First walk as a graduate.  Adorable.

Laines and Mrs. Gilmore:

Big congratulatory hug from Ellie:
