Pre-graduation Blues
Getting ready for 6th grade graduation started with much stress and tears. Trying to work out routes to pick everyone up had us all (adults involved) leaving early with much to plan. I was late getting home and got ready as fast I could and 3 hours later came out to a group of girls who were crying, "My family isn't coming!" "My beautiful hairstyle fell down!" "I wanted to wear LONG sleeves!" "This is the last time I am going to be with my friends!"
None of the boys were crying, just whining they had to wear ties.
Frank helps Uriel with his clip-on tie. :) At least they weren't crying.
The Graduation
Michelle, Karla J, Fede and Paola
Michelle and Francisco proceed in while...waltzing?
Some of Michelle's family came
Maestro Carlos stands with the kids that graduated from CVE. He actually celebrated his 23rd birthday yesterday. (Along with Kristen! Happy b-day Kris! Your Christmas present is in the mail, so another 6 months and I will send you a great gift for you.)
Lili and family members
Uriel and family
The Three Caballeros. They all looked so grown up and handsome last night.
Praise the Lord that graduation only comes once a year! Although, I am feeling very unsure that we are prepared to have kids in Middle School!
Joel took José and his sister, Lupita, to his school's graduation. He didn't graduate but danced in the "Dance of the Cowboy." The video footage is amazing!
P.S. I didn't really get ready for three hours, just wanted to see if anyone would notice. :)

Congratulations to all the sixth graders. They all look very handsome or beautiful. (whichever fits)
Love you,
Todd and Teresa
Ames,
I'm so relieved it didn't take you 3 hours! I thought maybe you had become rather high maintenance down there.
Glad to know that I share a birthday with Carlos. :)
Love ya,
Kris
i was wondering about that 3 hour thing...and thinking maybe i just was crazy. : ) also, could Francisco look any more dashing as Michelle's escort?! precious! love to you from CO, darling.

So glad to hear that it didn't take you 3 hours to get ready! I also was beginning to think that you may have become quite vain and high maintenance. Love having your sister in Indy and love to read your blog. My love to Bill, Joan & family and all of you there.

I know this is my second comment, but I forgot to mention the 3 hour thing. Sure glad you clarified, however I know from growing up with your dad that he would have attempted to straighten you out when you come home to visit since it takes him 5 minutes or less to shower and get dressed and out the door. ;)
