On Friday last, Jake graduated with his friends. One will enter kindergarten with him in a few short days. I loved all the bright colors — these children look like flowers in a garden.
The children had practiced climbing a little bridge where they stopped to allow photos to be taken and to take their moment to shine. Jake's shining!
Have you ever seen a grad be so delighted with his diploma?
His parents and big brother are proud, his grandparents are proud, his aunties, too!
Onward and upward...
Edited to Add: The final two photos are courtesy of Jake's mom who took the far better photos that day!
Cute photos!
ReplyDeleteI love it that they are now making graduation from pre-school such a wonderful step to the future. I have those special pictures of Andrew, too, and I think it gives these children a little boost to do well in school. Maybe not, but it is a great send-off to the years ahead.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Jake and family!
Thank you for sharing this special occasion.
Congrats to your Jakob! Love your new header too.
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet, Vee! I love all the bright colors, too, and Jake is just adorable. I remember those precious years so well; it's wonderful to have pictures of these once-in-a-lifetime moments.
