Our First Senior Graduation!!!

Alexi made it! But, not without a lot of work his Senior year! We are so happy for him! To tell you the truth a year ago, we were really wondering if he was going to graduate. Once he made the decission, he went for it and did everything he needed to do make it happen.

This was also the first high school graduation that I attended in my life. It was quite interesting. I think it is a nice way of recognizing these kids and the hard work they have put in their education. I got a little emotional a couple of times, when the grads clapped and stood up for their parents, and when they were officially graduated and thru their (ugly) hats. It was so good to see Alexi so happy.

Alexi a reussi! Mais pas sans beaucoup de travaille de sa part pendant sa derniere annee de lycee. Nous sommes tres heureux pour lui. Pour vous dire, on ne pensait pas qu'il reussirai apres avoire echoue 2 ans de ses 4 ans de lycee. Mais une fois qu'il a pris la decision de graduate, il c'est mis au boulot et a fait tout ce qu'il a pu pour ratraper le temps perdu.

C'etait aussi la 1ere fois que j'allais a un "graduation". C'etait tres interessant, je pense que c'est une facon sympa de reconnaitre les jeunes qui reussissent et les efforts qu'ils ont mis dans leur education. J'ai etais un peu emu quand les enfant on reconnu leur parents en applaudissant et en de levant, ainsi que quand ils ont ete declare "graduate de 2010" c'est la qu'ils lance leur chapeux (qui son moche d'aillieur!) c'etait bien de voir Alexi si content!

Talk about Sex-Education

Emric- "Justine, guess what class I have to take in school this semester!"
Justine- "What?"
Emric- "Guess!"
Justine- "Emric, I'm not going to guess."
Emric- "Just guess."
Justine-"No."
Emric- "Okay, I'll give you a clue, it starts with an 'S.'"
Justine-"I'm not going to guess"
Emric- "Okay, I'll give you another clue, it ends in an 'X-ed.' "
Justine-"Emric, its ok to say 'sex-education.'"
Mom- "Really, Emric, when do you start?"
Emric- "I've been doing it for two weeks now."
Amelie- (spits out some food) "Emric's having sex?!"

Emric- "Justine, devine ce que je prend a l'ecole ce semestre!"
Justine- "Quoi?"
Emric- "Devine!"
Justine- "Emric, je ne vais pas deviner."
Emric- "Just devine."
Justine-"No."
Emric- "Okay, je te donne un indice, ca commence avec un 'S.'"
Justine-"Je vais pas deviner!"
Emric- "Okay, je te donne un autre indice, ca fini avec un 'X-ed.' "
Justine-"Emric, c'est ok de dire 'sex-education.'"
Mom- "A bon, Emric, Quand est-ce que tu commence?"
Emric- "cela fait 2 semaines que j'en fait."
Amelie- (en crachant ce qu'elle avait dans son bouche) "Emric a du sex?!"
