Happy Birthday, Ethan Conrad!
He's 10, today. Good grief. He's growing up too fast. I think I'm going to try sitting on him.
May 25, 2000, at 6:36 p.m., I became a mom. And my life changed forever.
July, 2000 I love that hair. Someone said that he looked like Ernie from Sesame Street.
May 23, 2010
Easter 2010
I just got home from the Elementary School awards assembly. Is there an award for sitting through both ceremonies?
Just kidding.
Mostly.
Both boys got an Honor Roll award, and Accelerated Reader awards. And various other an sundry things that may or may not deserve a certificate of recognition. These ceremonies... I know they're to recognize achievement, but I'm not so certain that mediocrity deserves celebration. And some of the parents dressed to the nines, as if they were receiving an award instead of their grade schooler. I'm proud of my boys, certainly, but I'm proud of their character, the manners, their sense of humor and the way they handle themselves in day to day life. And there really isn't an award for that.
That said, have a picture or two, anyway.
