Another driver and a graduate 8/3/11

I thought I'd share with you a few of the things you've missed this summer, since I've been bloggily silent, for the most part. First of all, my oldest kid (Emily) graduated from high school. I have no idea how this happened, since we all know I am still only 23. /sarcasm You see that rather short on right on the end of the standing row? That's my baby. :) We were so proud. She doesn't see the big deal about graduating, but it's a right of passage, and we're proud of her.

Man! It was hot that day! They'd been calling for storms, but not a single cloud was in the sky by the time graduation started.

In other Emily news, just today, we finally went to court to get her non-provisional driver's license. Just in time for her to move to my mother-in-law's for college.

This summer, we also went on vacation to the beach, went to Kings Dominion, sent two kids off to camp and generally did a bunch of stuff. According to my kids, who go back to school next Tuesday (yes, you read that right), we did nothing. And their summer was boring. I'm shocked they survived the terribly boredom.

And just a week ago, my second child, Aaron, got his learner's permit. Doesn't he look proud? If you could see me in the pic (rather than being the one behind the camera), you might see a frightened expression on my face. My goodness. Two of them driving now???? How does this even happen? Seriously, though, I'm proud of him. I know he'll be a good driver (fingers and toes crossed on that one), and hopefully won't add any more silver to my hair.
