Eliza's 5th Grade Celebration

I can't believe that my little Eliza is done with elementary school. She did a wonderful job singing and speaking in her 5th grade musical celebration. I was so proud of her. Here are a few photos of the night. I always sit on the floor to direct the students, because the last time I sat in a chair, it was a kindergarten chair and my butt poured out over the sides. All you could focus on during the video was my huge derriere sitting on that tiny chair. Thus...I always sit on the floor and everyone is happy!

Memorial Day

Every year, we take the girls to the National Cemetery on Memorial Day. This year we looked for the Veterans that died in WWII. The girls went around and read the names and tried to find these men that died in combat. Then Tom would talk about the war and tell stories. It's always a very humbling, sobering experience to visit the National Cemetery and to remember these men and women that died for us serving our country. We really are blessed to live in such an amazing country.
