What on Earth?

Seriously, what on earth are these? These are all of the banana peels I passed on my bike ride to work this morning. They are all within 1/2 a mile of each other. Notice the different states of dessication? I think they are all from the SAME DRIVER!

And I think if I am not careful, I will end up becoming a cartoonish figure.

Post-Grad Outing.

Jenni has blogged before about Johnny's; a sushi join in Perryville, MD that is absolutely dynamite.

It was where Suzanna wanted to go after her graduation to celebrate.

Like Jenni said, we missed the Ritchies!

It was an opportunity to order the biggest collection of sushi on the menu, the Love Boat Deluxe!  The sushi is the best I've ever had, but the presentation that Johnny puts together is amazing.

Look closer at that picture; the crab is made from a carrot.  The Turtles are made from cucumbers!

Suzanna was the guest of honor, she got to kiss the turtle!

My favorite moments from the dinner were when Sam (after initially being very dubious about this whole raw fish thing!) brought his plate back for more, and when Suzanna declared her octopus was delicious.  I am so happy my kids have mature palates, and trust us when we say, "Try this. It's fried soft crab with avocado, two things you're not wild about, but together they're amazing!"

Videos of Suzanna Walking Across Stages

Suzanna is DONE with High School! Yay! Here are some terrible, low-quality, but exciting-for-us videos of the ceremonial parts!

The Magnet program she is in had a ceremony two weeks ago where each student was highlighted for their capstone project.  Jennilyn blogged about the Gallery Walk.  You can see Suzanna shaking hands with the Program Administrator here.

This is Tuesday at the Graduation.

We are very proud of her, but excited to see what she does next!

I Find Myself Strangely Nervous.

I've had half my kids graduate. This should be old hat.

But I am really wound up about Suzanna graduating tonight. This will be her roommate at BYU.  They are going to have so much fun.

I am really proud of her.  This is her at the seminary graduation Sunday night.

Have we done everything we were supposed to do? Does she know how much we love her? Does she know how amazing she is?

I will miss her so much when she goes to college, but I am so happy for her.
