My Wee Graduate

Lily Wen's K-4 graduation was last week. It is a big deal in our small town. There is a wonderful program that celebrates the history of America and our area of the country. It was beautiful!

Lily Wen is dressed for her part as a Kentucky Lady

Anthony as Christopher Columbus and Lily Wen
(His mother and I are attempting to prearrange their marriage!)

Lily Wen and Maleah

Lily as the Statue of Liberty with my Lily Wen

A sassy Southern lady!

So, so Sassy

Lily Wen and her Entourage...Granny Mary, Jonathan, Ann, Becky, Graeme, and Elizabeth

Lily and Lily Wen, the Graduates

Lifelong friends are made in preschool!

Lily Wen and some of her classmates sing "My Ole Kentucky Home"

The finale of the show. I watched as tears streamed down my face as my beautiful Chinese daughter belted out "I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free!" She sang the song with such enthusiasm and our whole group got the significance of this song for my daughter. AMAZING!

So I didn't get any cap and gown pics...we took these today!

Her High School Musical Jump!

The Graduate


Leaping into his future!

Oh dear, that song always makes me a drippy eye'd mess, but I'd probably need a whole darn tissue box hearing Lily Wen sing it!

What an adorable graduation program her school put on for the children!!!

What precious memories. That song always makes me cry. I can't imagine the emotion it would bring to hear your China treasure sing it with joy!

How cute! I do wish we had of had the full cap and gown ceremony. I guess we were at least lucky to have the cap. ha

Your children are very cute.
