K5 Graduation for Joshua and Caleb


Our boys had the joy of sharing a graduation ceremony with two of their missionary friends who also finished kindergarten this year. It was nice of the moms to help create such a special day for the four boys. The gowns are homemade, as well as the caps! My (Sophie's) only participation was making and decorating the cakes. A small part compared to the other work done.




All the children from the three families involved sang two verses of Trust and Obey. They did a great job. Then each of the "graduates" recited a poem. Joshua and Caleb said Psalm 23 together. They had learned it earlier in the year and we spent quite a bit of time reviewing it in preparation for this day. We were proud of them.





Uncle Nathan Washer presented the boys with their certificates of completion. Caleb had a little problem with keeping his cap on straight whenever he moved. He has been working on carrying things on his head like the Zambians do, so he got extra practice with his cap.

We had a wonderful time rejoicing in how the Lord has blessed our boys and were reminded that there is much more that needs to be done to continue bringing them up in the admonition and knowledge of our Lord.

They look so cute! I can't believe they finished K-5. It seems like I was just there...and they hadn't even started. I'll be back soon. :)
