The first year is over!

Sadie graduated from Kindergarten on May 18th. I had no idea it would be such a big deal - it's only Kindergarten after all! But the whole elementary came to watch, plus the kids walked with their 8th grade buddies. Whole families turned out to watch with flowers and balloons in tow. And apparently everyone checks out early and goes to lunch afterwards. So Sadie came home at eleven and we picked up McDonald's on the way home.
