My mind is still spinning from all that our family accomplished in the last week and a half but my prayers for a strong finish to the school year have been answered and I’m looking forward to a lack of structure to the “lazy” days of summer ahead of us…I just need a few days to decompress a bit. 🙂 Yay! Welcome Summer!!!
May 30th was a BIG day that included Rudy’s official promotion from his “blended bonus year” to being a full time Kindergartener! Woo Hoo …
May 30th also included La Patera’s 6th grade dance!!! A special “end of the year” event that the 6th graders look forward to all year long! Olivia and a couple of her friends had fun getting ready at our house after school…
Big bro Wilson took time out of his intense study schedule for finals to chauffeur the girls in our neighbor’s Grand Marquis…
Tuesday June 3rd was Olivia’s 6th grade promotion. Rudy sat quietly throughout the entire ceremony which allowed Rolf, the boys and I to enjoy it all…it’s hard to believe it’s our last La Patera promotion…the culmination of so many memories for our whole family!
Thursday June 5th was the last day of school for all 4 kids…Rudy enjoyed his last day in Mrs. Farrington’s class with his La Patera buddies.
There really have been more moments to savor the past 9 days than we’ve been able to document on Rudy’s Beat…Rudy’s smiles have been the biggest I’ve ever seen in the last couple of days since the big sibs have been home…the BEST part of Rudy’s summer for sure! Grateful, grateful!
Rudy's Beat 
Have fun!!! Sorry I have to miss it all, but am otherwise occupied,haha!!!!
Prayers for a great summer for all of you!!
Oh, looks like a lot of funny up your way, Trish! Please tell Wilson that driving Olivia and her friends was sooooooooooooo sweet! He totally gave them a great memory gift. Love, hugs and blessings to you all. Jo
Beautiful photos! Beautiful family!
AMAZING!! Rudy? Riding a motorized scooter? Who knew? Well, no surprise that wonderful Livvy is leading the way into the future. Loved every bit of this post – thank you, Trish.
Great pictures! Second best thing to being there with you! Congratulations to all of the kids for finishing another successful school year. I am so proud of each of you AND your Mom and Dad!
