My daughter is in the ninth grade and has three more years left after. I can't imagine how it feels for your child to graduate? How did you feel about it? Were you sad, happy, etc? <BR/><BR/>I am so curious because it's something that I'm not looking forward to.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13258917650794100041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1087502739566584714.post-12108627034984761952007-12-02T01:37:00.000+11:002007-12-02T01:37:00.000+11:00Not only intelligence yet she possess beauty!Wonde...Not only intelligence yet she possess beauty!<BR/>Wonderful pic!

He wants to be in Manhattan with his brother. Tasmania sounds soooooooooo cool! I wish I could go there! <BR/><BR/>I linked into you by the way. I also love the title of your blog. Brilliant.

These sort of events always make me even more proud of my kids. My youngest son did his deb ball this year and I think I must have had a smile on my face all evening (jaw was sore next day!)<BR/><BR/>There is a lot of pressure on the kids in their last year of school here isn't there. (I have had two kids go through it) Those exams are all important and they are constantly told it. No wonder they feel as if they need time out before continuing study.<BR/><BR/>I hope you had a wonderful time in Taz.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1087502739566584714.post-64023219764367821672007-11-25T19:20:00.000+11:002007-11-25T19:20:00.000+11:00great post Loz....and a wonderful photo.....of the...great post Loz....and a wonderful photo.....of the two of you.....<BR/>here's to a great holiday in Tassie.... :)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08308898926898440376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1087502739566584714.post-84465104176929010412007-11-25T14:24:00.000+11:002007-11-25T14:24:00.000+11:00Enjoy your vacation!!
