Congrats to Shea on becoming a Certified Diabetic Educator – an incredible amount of hard work paid off (and not just because it adds to an already impressive list of credentials after her name!)

The last day of school is the perfect day for Throwback Thursday. I love how Sasha’s face changes from resignation and uncertainty in the first picture to utter joy and relief in the second. (And even Pace’s near-teenaged face has a hint of smile to it today compared to September as well!) 🙂

Saturday Snap – This Is The Picture My Wife Sends Me While I’m Being #SaturdayLibrarian

Friday Fun Link – The Mighty Mighty Bosstones “The Impression That I Get” (Except The Genre Changes Every 15 Seconds)
