Jake's 8th grade graduation and introducing Leo

Jake graduated from 8th grade on June 12th. Sorry it took me so long to post pictures, but with traveling to Boston then Eric's recent trip to New Mexico, I just now finally got a chance to download the pictures.

Here he is in line before the processional...


And, here he is afterwards with his diploma...


With the PetCo gift cards he received as graduation presents - thanks to Jorg and Martha, Nana, Poppy, Lauren, and Lee!- he was able to get a terrarium set up for a long awaited lizard (he's been talking about wanting to get a lizard for over a year now). He chose to get a baby leopard gecko - appropriately named Leo. Here is Leo in his new home.
