what a great evening…

met up with a group of friends and family for an early dinner at Hermanos to celebrate the graduate… we also toasted the dad on his birthday…

on to the Concert Hall for the graduation ceremony… there were many early birds like us who wanted to get great seats, lol…

we are so very proud of this young man, who moved from a French immersion school to a fully French school in grade nine, and in the process completed the International Baccalaureate program…

following the ceremony there was lots of photo-taking with proud friends and family;-)…

grandpa would be pleased and I am sure he was watching… I was happy to see that he was wearing my beloved’s high school ring and my mother’s chain;-)…

exciting to see where his next steps will take this very special young man…

music…

band, big girl pants, concert, French, grandson, happy, man, music, widow

worked a bit late and while I was still there got a call from my oldest grandson…

he wondered if I wanted to go to his band concert tonight…

we figured it out, they picked me up from the office, and off we went…


they are very good… this is the grade 10-12 band…


here is the grade 9-10 jazz band… the music was excellent… their director tells a story/joke when she introduces each piece… they are always very funny… although we never get them because she tells them in French, lol… tonight I think the person beside me was translating for the person on the other side of her…

always so pleased when I can fit this type of thing in… he is growing up so fast and when you look at him now you see a young man, not a kid anymore…

very happy he called and we were able to make it work…

music…

band concert, big girl pants, French, music, supper

lovely time tonight… 

caught this lilac as we walked into the restaurant…

  

supper out with the performer and his mom… had a very nice, and healthy, spinach salad with almonds, oranges and shrimp…

then an excellent band concert… 

  
three different bands followed by three jazz bands… the director has a wonderful sense of humour and tells stories with each piece… everyone was laughing, although we weren’t able to understand as they were all in French, lol…

lots of toe tapping and humming…

really amazing what these young people have accomplished in just a few years of band class…

  
wonderful treat to spend time with just the two of them… even got to see Kyler’s other grandpa…

music is such an important aspect of all of their lives…

leaving the concert just had to get a shot of the sky…

  
fun time…
