End of the School Year

This Sunday is Pentecost, so tonight are my last rehearsals at church until after Labor Day.

Since last Saturday, we've attended three different track meets, which close out the sports year at the kids' schools.

Yesterday, I played piano for the graduation ceremony at our church's preschool. Watching the joy of four-year-olds with paper mortar boards on their heads was rewarding. They are on their way now to kindergarten.

Tonight, three of our six kids are playing in end-of-year concerts. I'm working, and the concerts overlap. So I attended a dress rehearsal, and Jonathan is straddling two different events tonight.

But the biggest change is yet to come. We still have one more week in which the children stay in school for the entire day. After Memorial Day, high school finals and end-of-year activities during the school day will take over.

Summer is almost here.
