Surprise

Later this week, JT finishes the 4th grade.  The school has a ceremony for closing the Lower School and since 4th grade is the end of the Lower School line, it also serves as a celebration of the 4th graders.

It will be my 7th Lower School closing, so I know the drill.  Among other things, the kids dress up.  In most years, I've defined "dress up" as ironed shorts.  But this year, JT has his first tie and some rather snappy seersucker trousers to wear with his button-down shirt.  I'm admittedly biased, but he'll look pretty sharp.  And today, a big surprise will come his way, in the form of Grandma flying east to join us for the ceremony.

He has no idea that she's coming and I'm about to burst with the secret.  Safe travels, Grandma.  We'll see you soon!
