Today was a very special day, for Sam, and for all of us. We went to the elementary school's version of a graduation ceremony and headed into NYC for a celebration lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square. Despite a little jealousy of the spotlight from someone else in the family (not Julia), and despite the loss of Sam's own digital camera in Toys R Us at Times Square (not that surprising), it was a great day. Sam is now a middle schooler!
