This photo shows Joey getting on the bus for his first day of Kindergarten. This photo shows him getting off on his last day. Next year he'll be getting the bus with his brothers...




...who are seen below getting on the bus on their first day, and getting off, along with neighbor, Billy, on their last day of school, which was today.

Today I attended Joey's End of the Year Celebration at his school. He will be mingling with the big kids in the fall when he enters first grade. Hooray!
