School Dazed


School's out and naturally the end of the school year came with celebration and ceremony. Rowan and Willow have been participating in a home-school co-op one day a week and their final day was full of fun and games. What a wonderful group of people those are, we're going to miss them next year.

Auburn graduated with honors- third in her class, a position she very carefully guarded all year as she didn't want to risk falling in the top two, "they have to give speeches!" Too bad she didn't inherit my public speaking gene or she could have been Valedictorian. Or maybe not, that kid was academically superhuman.

She seemed genuinely thrilled with graduation gifts- two cameras and various photographic equipment. Her artistic talent hasn't found it's boundaries yet and she's every bit as remarkable a photographer as she is at everything else she touches. I would like to know where that gene came from. I reckon Jon probably gets the credit there as he also seems to have a golden touch when it comes to being able to pick up a skill without half trying.
