13 Years ago I took my baby to "BIG SCHOOL" for the first time....
Fast Forward to last night(And it really feels like it has all happened in fast forward, if only we had a rewind button) I attended his Graduation Mass.....
And today I watched him walk into his Graduation assembly and stand tall and proud(not quite as proud as his Mumma)
He stood before the school and spoke beautifully
for the last time as the Vice Captain.....
Presented a parting gift to the Principal.....
Received his Graduation certificate and a folder full of other
awards and a reference that I could only dream about.....
The whole school formed a guard of honor and one of
the teachers sang The Sheahan song as the
James Sheahan Year 12 Class of 2014
exited Mercy Hall for the final time.....
By this time I was quietly standing taking photos
and sobbing like a baby, wishing mine back....
But as you can see by this pic my babies are all grown up.....
They couldn't teach him to totally behave because in this photo he
had just licked the side of his sisters face....Ha Ha
Secretly she loves it!!!!
So tonight I am exhausted, happy, sad, excited, terrified
but most of all extremely proud of the gorgeous young man
that my little Jacky Mister has grown into....
Excluding the last pic!
Off to bed for a much needed sleep.....
Thanks for reading and indulging me in a proud Mumma moment....

beautiful moments Kate ....you must be so proud
Congratulations to Jacky Mister. Hasn't the past 13 years gone so fast. Mitchell will finish in a few weeks. I remember his first day and thinking how Year 12 was such a long way off. Now it's here!
Congratulations to you both. Watching our kids grow up is simply amazing to watch.
Lovely post about your special boy.
Lovely post Kate - face-licking included! You know, if he were to put on his uniform in a week, he would look too old for it... Good luck to him, & don't forget your own contribution to how he's turned out!!
Gorgeous post Kate - boys wil be boys!
