Nelson's Graduation!

Last night Nelson graduated from Primary School. It's hard to believe we no longer have any children in primary!

Receiving his Certificate of Graduation.

 Making his speech.

 Signing the Graduation Book.

 Our school does a "Then and Now" slide show. Everyone sent in a baby photo. That photo would come up first and the kids would try to work out who it is. Then this year's school photo comes up with their names. The kids get so excited when they see who it is and it is just lovely listening to their reactions. You should have heard them when the teachers' photos came up!

 Congratulations Nelson. We are all very proud of you.

Love Dad, Mum, Mitchell and Austin.

A Christmas Musical, A Graduation and A Surprise Sewer!

Last Monday, I was invited to Grade 4G's Christmas Musical. We were treated to a lovely show by Nelson and his friends. This was followed by a lovely morning tea. Nelson even sang a solo bit!Then on Tuesday night, Austin had his Grade 6 graduation. The children all had a fantastic night. After the formal part of the night, there was a supper/dance. They all did a couple of dances for us to watch. Then the boys got their mums and the girls their dads, and we all had a dance. It was very special having a dance with Austin.

Doesn't he look nice in his new outfit!

Mitchell came home from school yesterday with this lovely cushion he made in home economics. I didn't think I'd ever see Mitchell sewing (and I still may well not) but he was very proud of his cushion. I think he's done a great job on his first ever sewing piece! I don't know if he intends to doing any more!

While I'm here, I might as well put in a plug. I've entered my Starry Sensations quilt (see post below) in the Quilting Gallery's weekly contest. If you like my quilt, please head over and vote for mine (bit rude aren't I?).
