« love thursday:  graduation »

Today Alex graduates from Kindergarten.  We are, naturally, very proud of her, and have no doubt that she's ready for First Grade.

 

 

 We are a little concerned, however, that First Grade might not be ready for her.

 

Happy Love Thursday, everyone.

 

Images:  Photographed with Nikon D300, 50mm manual lens, in her bedroom yesterday afternoon.

 

Song: Take California by Propellerheads.  It seems random, but this kid loves this song.

Big congrats to Alex! I'm sure that after the initial shock, First Grade will be more than happy to have Alex in its midst :)

Also: Happy Love Thursday, everyone!
