Kindergartener no more

Ella officially moved on to the first grade last week. Here is her last day of school photo, complete with a hummingbird. She can now read, but we are still working on teaching her how to smile properly...



First day : Last day


She had a graduation program, but it was nearly impossible to take photos with the lights all dimmed. We recall being worried in preschool about whether our shy little firstborn would even get up on the stage. This time she was waving her way through the handmotions, and singing loud enough that we could pick her out.



The only shot I got of her getting her "diploma." It's kind of like those grainy photos of sasquatch lumbering through the woods, where the photographer swears that the brown out of focus mass is a mother sasquatch and her baby ducking behind a bush. So that is Ella right there in the middle, shaking the principal's hand. Really, I swear!



A blurry photo of her and Mrs. Marquard, her teacher (the one who has no idea what she is in for next year.)


And her other teacher, Mrs. Nikki.


Congratulations Ella!
