I just have to document and share this day.
Today my son Alex graduated from 8th grade and is now moving into the big leagues of life!
To say he is not excited is an understatement.
Congrats young man, we are so very proud of you, and love you so much.
I still see the baby face in him, that only a Mom can see.
Getting ready to receive his certificate.
I of course took other pics of him with his friends, but because I did not get permission to post them on my blog, I will skip that, just in case. Certainly respect others when it comes to blogging and posting pictures.
Speaking of which, blogger is still acting up for some.
Including me. During my newbie party, I either had a problem leaving a comment, or it was Word verification that tripped me up. Sorry If I missed you, my intent was good.
Congratulations Mom!! He doesn't look a bit like you. 😉
Ahhhh!!
Congrats to that very tall boy!!
Oh, you are a proud mama and I get to see y'all in person tomorrow. Can't wait!
Congratulations to your handsome son!
Did you cry? I am always crying!!
Congratulations, to your young man!!! You must be so proud!
He is a handsome young man! I know you are so proud. Your bangs are so cute, Debbie! You are *owning* them!!!
Congratulations Alex! Wow, he is a tall kid! I bet he eats you out of house and home too! What a proud moment for you! Have a great weekend and be safe!
thats a handsome young man you have,, grade eight graduation,, wow,, thats a big deal,, grown up night,,its been 17 years since my sons grade eight graduation,, my memories are ,, the boys looking so cool and dapper,, the girls so glammed up,, and all of them so grown up,, scary for mums and Dads,, lovely photo of you both,, you all have beautiful smiles,
Is your son extremely tall for his age or are you a midget? He sure is a handsome one!!! He'll be fighting the girls off…or probably already is! My little 14 year old brother in law (yes, I have a BIL younger than my own kids…weird!) is 6 ft tall! My boys are all only 5'6 or 5'7 but their dad is short too.
Blogger is being weird, I'm still having to leave the box unchecked and I'm noticing my blog and many others say "Done but with errors on page" at the bottom. I don't know if that's just my computer or if others are getting it too!
Oh well, could be worse! Have a wonderful day Debbie and yay to that young man of yours!!!
Congratulations to your boy! I know how proud you are of him…you did good, Mom…you did good! I'll bet you were the cutest Mom at the graduation!;>) Hugs- Diana
How handsome he looks! Congratulations Alex!

Congratulations to your handsome son and your whole family, Debbie! My son, too, finished 8th grade today and is now a …..highschooler!!! Exciting times! Hope you enjoy this wonderful milestone!
Love Laurie from Scene of the Grime
Many congratulations! What an exciting time.

Holy basketball player, Batman! He's only in 8th grade? I would have taken him for older than that. You'll have to fight off those high school girls! 🙂 Congratulation to Alex and your family.
What a good looking mom and son duo! I know how proud you feel, Debbie, my daughter graduated from eighth grade last year. Congraduation!
Congratulations to your son! Great Mother and Son picture.
Congratulations to your boy. Isn't it funny how they get taller than you so quickly? LOL!
Congratulations! My Alex will be graduating 8th grade in a few weeks also. How lucky are you that school is over already. They drag it out to the end of June where I live.
Congrats! 8th grade graduation is a huge step, because the rest of the way counts towards something. My boys have 3 weeks yet, but can't wait til vacation starts. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations to your son…he looks handsome and grown up!
XO,
Jane
Don't blink mom – – – 'cause when you do, he'll be graduating from high school!!!

Ahhh, such a cute boy! Congrats to your whole family.
Blogger seems to be improving but all the bugs haven't been worked out yet…
Awww, congratulations to Alex! You must be so proud. That's a beautiful picture of mother & son. Alex is very handsome & I'm guessing very tall too. 🙂
Very handsome young man and wonderful picture with his mother! Congratulations to him on this special day!
Give him an extra pat on the back for all of us! I know you're proud of him! He sure is TALL, isn't he! ♥
Congrats to your special guy today!! We had a milestone at our house today too! So glad you mentioned that about the pictures. I always want so badly to post pictures of my girls with their friends but don't because I don't know how the other children's parents would feel about it. Enjoy your summer with your boys. I know you will!!! 🙂
Congratulations to your son. Such a milestone in life. I love the pic of the two of you. Perfect. Hugs, Marty
Congratulations to your son. They grow up so fast. Great photo of the two of you.
CONGRATS to Alex!! Love the picture of the two of you, such a handsome young man and his pretty mama!!
Congratulations. You certainly don't look old enough to have a kid in High School next in the fall.
Debbie,
So sweet it is!
You have two good looking children.
Alex is quite tall next to you.
I don't think your bangs look too bad. I love your doo. I only wish I had straight hair. I would be sporting the same look.
Congrats to your son! Have a safe trip tomorrow. How sweet to be getting together with Kim.

Congratulations, Alex! Debbie, you have a freshman in the house! Have a great summer!
He's going to be a charmer. Watch out you will have the girls giggling on your front steps really soon, if not already.
I, too, am having the blogger nasties going on here. Hope they get it fixed soon. But, did you see the news article about some Chinese Hacker braking in the Google on the government accounts. Guess they have their hand full with more important stuff than us lady bloggers.
Congratulations to Alex!!! High School is a fun ride! I know he will do well!
Congratulations!! High school is so much fun!! 🙂 Have fun meeting Kim tomorrow!!
Congratulations to you both! Ahh time flies by too quickly! Enjoy!
