The morning was filled with Jarod's 6th Grade Promotion Ceremony. Seriously. His Elementary days are over. Part of me rejoices that he has done so well, and has grown so much and the other part of me wants to stick him in a closet and never let him out! Of course they played a DVD yesterday of all the students with a baby photo and then a recent one. Then they did a series of photos from the time they were all in Kindergarten until now. Talk about a cry fest. And this is only 6th grade. I don't even want to think about High School. I found out yesterday that Jarod will be the Class of 2018. That's just weird. I had never taken the time to figure that out. 2018 - that is still sinking in.
Receiving his award for maintaining A/B Honor Roll all year. Awesome job!
He's already a better student than I was!
Jarod's favorite teacher this year - Mr. Reynolds. I had another post recently where Jarod had nominated him for Teacher of the Week on our local News channel - You can see that post here.
Proud Dad!
Proud me
Proud Nana!!!!
There was a nice reception afterward and Jarod got to eat his face. That's always cool ya know.
My sweet boy at 6 months eating a duck - yes - a live duck.
He chose this photo to go on the video - crazy kid.
This is my new FAVORITE of him - taken just a few weeks ago.
So after a wonderful promotion ceremony filled with joyful tears for mom - we headed to the church to set up for another Apparent Project Open House. Our church was hosting a Teacher Appreciation Luncheon for Charles E. Bennett Elementary School. They have been collecting cereal boxes so I decided to set up and let them shop after their lunch! It was awesome!
After the ladies shopped we had a little down time in between customers so we decided to pack cereal boxes.
I just shipped 9 boxes this past Monday and had all of this to go through again -
But some help arrived!!!
Our friend Diane drove from Jax Beach to do a little shopping and decided to stay and help us pack! Thanks so much Diane!!!
We were also surprised by a visit by some great friends of ours. We've known each other for over 7 years and they had moved to Brunswick. They stopped in town for a few days to work on their house as the are now moving to Miami. So thankful to have been able to spend a little time with them. And it's always amazing to me when God gives you such great friends that you can just pick up where you left off.
They have had one major change since we were with them last - this is Owen. How cute is he???
Anne and Maddie picked right up as well. Anne was soooooo excited to see her!
Like old times - plus one!
Me and Shanon - love this lady!
Maddie came home with us for a sleep over. Great fun!
Our day ended on a great note - Jarod is now officially in Jr. High and Anne is in 2nd Grade. Great visits from great friends. Everyone crawled into bed and I calculated another $1100 in jewelry sales for the artisans. Amazing!
I slept really well last night.......
