He's Movin' on up (just like the Jeffersons --) except he's not movin' on up to the east side, he's movin' on up to high school! Last night was kid #2's (Evan -- aka my baby) 8th grade Moving Up ceremony. I had to bribe him to go (all week he said he wasn't going because it was stupid and boring -- spoken like the teenager he is -- however bribing him with food -- especially Kentucky Fried Chicken -- always works.) So , in the first picture you see him receiving a special award that only a few other kids in his class earned -- The Presidential Award for Educational Excellence --- YEA EVAN !! As you can see from the last picture where I made him pose with Jim Thorpe (the olympic athlete for whom the school and town are named for) -- neatness and decorum are completely out the window -- (note untucked shirt).
Anyhow, just like Jethro Bodine from The Beverly Hillbillies, Evan can now brag that he "gradiated" from the 8th grade ! I can't believe it --- my baby will be a freshman in high school next year !! -- and his older brother Matt , kid #1 will be a SENIOR !!! How did they grow up so fast?!? I'm certainly not any older ............
Toodles,
Mary Anne (aka Mare)

Congratulations to Evan!!
My daughter just finished 8th grade, too, but they didn't have a graduation ceremony. Oh well.
I've already had two children who graduated from High School. Now I have to do the High School thing all over again! I'll wish us both luck with that!
