I have no babies left in my house. Last Thursday, the 8th graders were given diplomas at their honors program. Tomorrow is the official last day of school and my little 8th grader will have officially graduated from middle school. This is the photo I got of him after the program. Can someone please explain to me why boys think not smiling is cool? Anyway, we are so proud of him.
And this is his afghan and pillow that I finished up for him. I started the afghan almost 5 years ago. it was another that got packed in the first move that I recently discovered as I unpacked boxes. the pillow is a more recent UFO, that just happened to match the afghan. His room is done in shades of blue with black accents, so the whole thing matches well.
I need to edit a couple of mini albums that I completed and I will post those here also. I finally found the pictures of them and got them downloaded. Okay, I am off. I need to get my fish going for dinner. I love fried fish!
ACK! he is getting so big!!!! :(

Wow, what a fine looking young man. I feel your pain on the no smiling thing. I have to just take lots of pictures to catch my son smile.

Wow! He has gotten so tall!! I understand what you mean about the not smiling. Mine is 16 and so many pics look like I'm forcing him to stand there LOL.

I just had to share your post with my husband. Our son just finished 8th grade and he stopped smiling for photos long ago. Glad to know that this is pretty common LOL.
