Ian Graduates!

Yes, it's that end of school time again and this year see's Ian graduate from his 'Nursery Aboard' class and he will next year move to the 'bigger' school up the road, with lots of new exciting classes and facilities. Ian's school report was a good one this year (again!) as you'll read below. In our photo's we see Ian with Teacher Camilla walking onto stage to collect his graduating certificate and some happy shots of Ian with Mom and Camilla too. We are proud parents today of our wondeful little boy, who is growing up oh-so-fast!
