Last day of school

Today was Joey's and Lili's last day of school. For Joey, it was his last day of elementary school; for Lili, her last day of second grade.

Here are pictures of them from the first day and the last day this school year.

Then and now

6 years apart:

No sleep

This is the face of a kid who stayed up all night for the first time... at his first Boy Scout "lock in". 12 hours of swimming, video games, pizza, chips, cookies, playing and talking with other boys...I brought him home at 7:30 am and three minutes after taking this picture he's in bed and I think asleep already!

Impressive kids

I am so proud of both my kids, who both had a day in which so much they accomplished was at its culmination.

Joey was a Cub Scout since first grade and today received his Arrow of Light and became a Boy Scout. 

Lili overcame a lot of fear, and put in a lot of hours of work, to be ready to be in the school play with two performances today.

Here are pictures of both kids from today.

Here are two videos:
