Backing up to June

 

Beginning in June things began to rock and roll... it began with graduation of our Oldest girlz... Here's a few of them finishing out High School. 

 

 

 

With Grandma and Grandpa

 

 

Remember the pinky's...

 

 

Pinky promise fulfilled!

 

 

With Russ and I...

 

As little girls these two were inseparable.  Heathers room was decorated in Dolphins for years... her living room is still decorated in dolphins... so it was a fitting theme for their farewell speech I gave at their graduation party that followed a week later. 

 

 

The Great Dolphin Team

Many moons ago in a sea not so far away

Met two little dolphins that instantly went to play 

Attached at the fins and inseparable at heart

The two frolicked in the sea scape discovering each part 

From two different pods the two little calves met

But the bond between them was forever set 

It was in the second grade the grand plans were made

With a pinky fin promise to graduate together one day 

In the little dolphin school they went about their days

Learning and dreaming in little dolphin girl ways 

With elementary school over, the little pair grew

Into Dolphin middle school and training bras too! 

As middle school ended the sea began to churn

In the great storm they were split, for each other they did yearn 

Much like the barking chain that you hear in the canine bark

The two dolphins would echo from sea life to sea shark 

Never ending their love, their friendship still grew

But for what was in store, neither of them knew 

The one fragile dolphin searched for the pod that she lost

But found love in another pod not knowing the full cost 

The other dolphin and her pod left after the great storm

They swam deeper into sea to try and keep warm 

The great storm had left all the dolphins so very chilled

But high school dolphins now their minds fancied and thrilled 

Of ways to live out their childhood dream

Of finishing dolphin school as the great dolphin team 

As the lost dolphin searched and echoed for a way

The pod that loved her most kept listening everyday 

The little dolphins dreamed of making it to Japan

Living in dolphin condos and having the best tan 

And finally the echo came from ever so far

Little dolphin lost was near but the trip had been hard 

She brought with her a little dolphin calf in tow

Best little dolphin she will ever grow to know 

So the two teenage dolphins were together again

Although things were now different, as their lives began 

No longer BFF dolphins, but spiritual sisters at heart

Bickering ensued but both did their part 

Realization that their goals had somehow shifted

Love for each other gave them something so gifted 

To live out their one last childhood dream

To graduate dolphin school as the great dolphin team 

Today we sway gently in the Great sea of life

The storms are at bay and their futures are bright 

Both of my dolphins have Jehovah in their heart

And both of my dolphins have grown to be smart 

As our two little dolphins jump up today and bow

They drop back into the sea as graduates now 

Through all of their lessons, heartaches, and dreams

With a pinky fin promise… I give you… the great dolphin team
