Graduated

The final day of August 2010 was just an ordinary day, but September started in a noteworthy fashion when Reese boarded the school bus for the very first time.

As of today, the child is a kindergarten graduate. 

As someone who's just a bit sappy, I'll willingly admit that a small lump formed in my throat as I watched her shake her teacher's hand and accept her certificate on that small stage in the school's cafeteria.

If every year whips by as quickly as this one has, she'll be headed to college next week.

Here's to the lazy, slow days of summer.
