Tonight was the DARE graduation for my son and all the 6th graders in Speedway..that meant that 5 schools were there..the four public schools and St. Christopher's. It was a nice ceremony and I appreciate the police working with the schools to educate kids on the importance of avoiding alcohol and drugs. It seems so odd to realize those same kids in 6 short years will be trooping once again across that stage to pick up their high school diploma..a bittersweet moment indeed.
It's amazing watching the kids cross the stage tonight to see how much they have all grown! My baby is tall! LOL I know...but you don't see when you see them every day ..day in day out..I have to refrain from wanting to call him "daddy long legs" like the spider..seriously that kid has some long legs! His inseam already is 31 inches and he's just about the same height as me now..5'6. Soon he'll sail on right past me! He's taller than both his older girl cousins now..and that makes him SOOOOO happy!!! LOL My baby is growing up. Sigh...

Kathleen,
Just found your WLS blog... I'm an RNY post-op, 7.5 years out, and I JUST blogged my story on my blog, Fermented Fur.

Also, lived in Indianapolis for 8 years, worked at the Eagle branch of the library system, and my sister in law taught at St. Christopher's for a while!
All the best on continued success. I'll always be that fat girl inside, but I feel better, look better, and I'm healthier!
