Sadie the graduate

It certainly has been a busy month and I can hardly believe it. I certainly don’t feel old enough (or mature enough) to have a daughter graduating high school. But apparently, I am.

That’s Sadie, our oldest, who graduated last Saturday with 48 other home school students.

The ceremony was great and very meaningful. Each of the parents recorded a short (less than a minute) presentation for each of the graduates. As the students were called up, one at a time, to the stage to receive their diplomas from their parents, a montage of pictures from their life was displayed while the parents comments was playing. There were many tears and much joy. We are so proud of you, Sadie! Congratulations.
