really my little pretty ones, this kid picked this tee shirt out all by himself. most controversial and worn often. so, when i went to our favorite local bakery

http://www.villagebakehouse.com/ to purchase an afterthought graduation cake all they had in the ready-to-go department was this white on white cake with pink decorations. it looked festive. i asked the graduate if it would be okay with him. he said yes, and the rest is history. when we got home, it only seemed natural to pull out the now famous pink tee and record the event.

joseph says that this shirt was given to him in his freshman year at mountain view highschool by a good friend. seems most appropriate that his highschool time is marked with a piece that was from the beginning.

it was halfway thru his sophomore year that, not only did he convince us that he would be a well suited candidate for online highschool, this smart young man also prepared all the paperwork to the point of us, his rents, only have to sign on the dotted line. he made saying no nearly impossible. we gave him 6 months to prove to us that he could do it. and although it was not perfect, realistically, what is? it seemed to work for him, and i liked being able to check his progress online, although that could be troublesome.
i have enclosed both pictures, just because!

doesn't he just have the sweetest smile you have ever seen?
