Calvin's graduation to secondary school today. That would be like him graduating to go to high school in the states, crazy young in my opinion, but it seems to work in the UK. Cal had mixed emotions today. He will miss many of his friends here, but he is also excited to get back. He asked me why he felt like crying. My explanation did not cut it. But his big brother's explanation, that Preston himself when he was emotionally hysterical at 6th grade graduation in Bountiful and we physically had to remove him from the school seemed to resonate with Cal. I cried a few times during the graduation today, but Lindsey did not. I guess the boys can blame me for the gushing.
Tonight we had Jade over for a discussion with the missionaries. Jade is our new friend who found out about the church by watching a video blog of an LDS family who live in California. She is an incredible person and we are happy to know her! The Stevensons came over as well. We love our sister missionaries!
Polwarth Church, the location for school assemblies near the school was the place for today's graduation.
Cal mastered the moves to Michael Jackson's Thriller for his P7 graduation dance (middle).
Graduation gift is a dictionary and thesaurus. Entirely practical, just like Cal.
Cal second in from the right. He will miss Mr. Diagon the most who taught Cal to love learning and did it with a smile and a guitar.
Tonight's enactment of Alma the Younger and the Sons of Mosiah with the Sister Missionaries. Annie and Owen really got into it. For one of the first times in our home's history, there were more females than males. It was a good change of play and the sisters did an amazing lesson targeted at our kids.
We just love Calvin and think the world of him, way to go!! We do wish you would have filmed his dance!
