Ari graduated on June 12th, and we couldn't be prouder. She is a National Achievement Scholar through the National Merit program and was accepted early decision to Wesleyan University in Connecticut. Her calculus teacher sent me a note near the end of the last quarter to let me know that Ari kept working all the way through to the end in his class, though many of the other seniors had let up. All through school she's worked very hard, kept an exceptional GPA, and has made us all very proud. Here she is the morning of graduation - she looked beautiful!

I have a thousand shots of the party, but I'm only posting a few. Those of you in attendance who would like to see all of the pix, I'm holding them hostage at my house for your next visit!
