Monday was Memorial Day, and after breakfast at the Broken Yolk, we made our annual trip to a local cemetery to remember the men and women who gave their lives for our country. We were lucky enough to meet a WW II veteran there who spent about a half hour with us telling us about his war experiences.
At the end of our visit, we were treated to some fly-overs by some vintage planes in various formations.
Wednesday was Brian's 8th grade promotion from Rancho Del Rey Middle School. There were more than 800 students being promoted. They held the promotion at the football stadium of Southwestern Community College. Silly Brian thinks that by shushing us from the field he can keep us from cheering for him.
Grandma Renee came to the promotion and took this picture of David & I with Brian. He's actually letting us take his picture, which is an accomplishment.
We had lunch at Islands afterwards, and Brian received a cell phone as a promotion gift.
Thursday was Kelly's 6th grade promotion from Heritage Elementary School. All three of our kids graduated from there, and now we have no more elementary school students. This is the slide that showed when Kelly was promoted. It has her kindergarten picture and a current picture, along with a favorite quotation.
Kelly and her best friend Hayley. They have been close friends since being in 2nd grade together.

I'm glad all that "pressure" worked. I love the picture of Kelly in that cute polka dot dress. She is looking more and more like Erin. Wow. What pretty girls.
Thanks, Amy! Yes, the pressure worked, and I agree--Kelly looked rather stunning. If only she could tame her hair.
