This summer, I have been able to attend two very special graduations. The first was for our neighbor Pablito. He graduated from Kinder. As the class of 2009 celebrated and prepared to head out to 1st grade, they had a short and very sweet ceremony. Each student received a certificate and walked forward to the sounds of pomp and circumstance playing in the background. I was invited to attend the service as one of Pablitos padrinos. As young people graduate here in Mexico, they have sponsors that come and bring a special gift. Depending on the graduation, you may walk forward with the graduate as well. As it was kinder graduation, my duties were very simple, and I presented Pablito with some candy and a special graduation balloon. Below are a few photos from the ceremony...

The second graduation was very special to me as it involved my mom. She just finished two years of serious study and received her Masters in nursing education. We made a family trip over to Phoenix, AZ to celebrate with her. Congratulations MOM! I am very proud of you!
