I had the wonderful privilege of taking the graduation photo's for the Grade 0 class at my son's school - Christian Brother's College (CBC), last friday. It's customary in our schools to have a graduation ceremony for the boys as they leave pre-school and head on to the first grade.
So here is one of my proud moments - my son, Ethan in his Graduation gear. Isn't he GORGEOUS!!!
As I look at him in this picture and I see how much he's grown I am filled with pride, as only a mom can be, at what a fine young boy he's growing up to be. I am so blessed to have this little star in my life. From the day he was born I was filled with awe at the precious gift God had bestowed upon me. Often times I wonder if I am up to the task of growing him into a man of Godly character and love. I can only pray that with God's guidance he will one day be a man who will make his wife and family very happy!!!
My apologies for the late posting of this pic - I couldn't get in to Am3 yesterday. I managed to look at 2 blogs and before I was able to leave comments the site bombed out on me!! So I will whizz through now and check out all the wonderful entries I missed yesterday!
Have a Fabulous Wednesday everyone.
Thank You so much for visiting and commenting on my blog!! It is greatly appreciated.
I am away for the next week and have posted till I come back. I hope you enjoy the images!!! I will catch up with all of your blogs when I get back.
Have an awesome week everyone! :)

Mandy, your Ethan is already shining like a star. Your write up only re-confirms what we'd already suspected, that you love your little boy so much! And may your hopes and prayers for his future be blessed with fulfillment. As for Am3 being haywire yesterday, I had the same trouble -- it was mostly down most of the day on our end. I wish somebody would let us know ahead of time this kind of thing was going to happen, or else tell us what was wrong and if it's fixed. But then I guess I sound like a spoiled consumer, so I'll quit whining. It's working today!
