Into the Archives (Part 1)

Since it's the end of the year, I thought I would delve into the Bartley Family archives and dig up some memories from 2008 so grab a lantern and watch your step and please be careful if you're asthmatic. It's quite musty down here in the archives.

In late May William and Grant graduated from Kindergarten at Lewisville Christian School (LCS). Some of my family traveled from Virginia and North Carolina to see this truly momentous occassion. The graduating class at LCS was 11 strong and speaking of strong, Grant showed tremendous fortitude just to make it to the ceremony as the day before graduation he was at a friend's house jumping on a trampoline and took a suuport pole to the eye. His first quality shiner and it was a beaut. By the morning of graduation it had swelled shut and gained a wonderful color, but by evening it had reduced some as you can see in the pictures below. I told him that his sister already had "done the eye thing" and he needed to come up with something he could call his own.
