tales from a far-land

SPRING!  Spring is such a fun time of year.  The weather allows us to stay outside and stay active And that is exactly what the Farrell-Landers do.  We stay really active.  We love to celebrate Shabbat with our friends.  We enjoy sleep-overs.  We release ladybugs into the rose garden to try to keep the aphids away.  We go on dads and kids camping trips.  And we lose baby teeth.  How else would you want to embrace spring?

On the Saturday before the last day of school, BASIS Phoenix Central held a graduation ceremony for the kindergartners at Amphitheater Island in Encanto Park.  It was a very adorable event complete with caps and diplomas.  The kids even released balloons as a final celebration at the end of the event.  I am a little sad it will be my last kinder graduation.  They grow-up *so* fast!

Spring is full of so many celebrations.  Birthdays are among them.  We have so many friends and family members whom we had the opportunity to share in their special days.  We are so grateful for all of the fun and special memories that we made celebrating with them..
