8th Grade Awards Ceremony

First semester of 8th grade is over and we attended the little awards ceremony that the school does for honorees. Jacob won two awards this year; one for Principal's Honor Roll and one for Science. 

We are of course proud parents and can't believe that the end of 8th grade is a few months away.

Jacob's Bar Mitzvah - Friday Night Service

Michael managed to take a few pictures after Friday night's service. Jacob did several prayers on Friday night. He did well and I think it helped prep him for Saturday morning.

The green kippah (yarmulkas) made a big hit.

Jacob looked so snappy in his new suit.

These ladies are part of the sisterhood who made the cake according to Jacob's specifications; white cake, white frosting.

Nothing like a formal event to get your kid to smile.

After Friday night's service, Michael and I went home to assemble 48 cupcake hamburgers.

They were well worth the effort as I think they were a very popular item. We hope to be able to share more pictures later.

First Day of School

Parents warned me that middle school would go by in a blip and they were right. I can't believe that Jacob is starting his final year of middle school. Where did the time go? I seem to be saying that a lot lately, I need to get it on a t-shirt.
