[photos|child] Going to eight grade graduation

Yesterday was the_child's eighth grade graduation. (They called it a "promotion", I think.) The event was held in a church a bit north of the school, and was absolutely lovely. My whole extended family attended, and Donnie Reynolds shot some more footage. the_child spoke (twice) and was part of several musical and spoken word group performances. They are all so young and beautiful and capable.

Where did these kids come from?

I didn't take a camera into the graduation, but I did take some photos of the_child and Mother of the Child before we left Nuevo Rancho Lake.
