My thoughtful, entertaining, and handsome nephew, Carter Lee, graduated from 6th Grade last night! Today was his last official day of elementary school! I kinda love that CHA does a full ceremony for that, and I'm sad T-man had to miss his because of Covid last year. Here is Carter walking across the stage to receive his diploma, looking proud of himself. =)
He and Slate were standing by each other as their class sang a couple songs. No clue what inside joke was going on there, but the two of them were cracking up laughing through a lot of it, and it made me happy! lol
All the CHA 6th graders and their teachers...
Carter Lee and his best friend, Slate
Slate's Mom, Laynie, who was a class ahead of me at CHA and used to sit by me in the Crusader Choir! #altopower She has been incredibly helpful with Carter's education this year, so we're thankful for her kindness and wisdom and willingness to help him learn and grow in confidence!
Spencer and Carter, who was a little too cool for photos in this pic. lol
Me and the mini Miss K... and her classmate, Silas, for the photobomb win! lol
Josh Bullard (CHA's Headmaster) and Carter! Carter really wanted to wear a suit because Slate was wearing one, and even with all that's going on this week, Mom went out of her way to make that happen the day before this lovely graduation ceremony. He does look super handsome in it, and I like the shirt and tie colors, as well!
Jaceman and Jonas, one of his favorite classmates!
Dylan and Miss K, tiny adorable besties!
Me and T-man, the introverts who were pretty over it and ready to go after a few minutes at the reception. lol
***Direct quote from T-man to me before the ceremony (sincerely asking, not making a joke): "So what year did you guys (meaning me and Rach) graduate? Was it, like, 1970?" LOL, I'm still laughing about that! #classof2002
Carter and Mamaw!
Rach, Carter, and Josh... and the sign Rach made for the photo-booth area!!
Carter and his diploma and me!
So much cuteness... they had a table full of baby pictures, and I had Carter pose with his. And when he's a Senior in his cap and gown, I'll 100% print this photo off and have him hold it for a picture. lol
Rach and all the Parrish kids getting ready to leave Mamaw's house! Crazy that T&C will both be in Junior High next year... I'm excited to come watch them play football on the same team!!
Kyndal Faith applying her lip gloss and using her iPad as a mirror... LOL I love it!
I think we're all feeling tense and worn down from this week, but I'm so glad I got to be there for Carter's graduation! It was nice having something to celebrate and being surrounded by people who are praying with and for us about Dad.
I know Carter has worked really hard to get here, and I'm super proud of him! And thankful for everyone who helped him get here. High fives all around!
Yes, I just wanted a reason to post that gif. lol Cutest thing ever!!
Okay, bye!
