ConGRADulations Jeff!

Hi everyone, David here. I’m back! I haven’t written a blog since Bath last year, but I wanted to write a little somethin’ special for my little brother Jeff.

This past June, Jeff graduated from high school. It was the end of an era, with the fourth and final House kid graduating from TASIS England.

The kids are all grown up!

The whole family was in London for the event. Dad flew in from Houston and Amy and her soon-to-be-husband Ross flew in from Boston. Laura came down from Edinburgh and my wife made it in the nick of time with a 7AM flight into Heathrow from Dallas.

Jeff started at TASIS in Kindergarten, so this really was a huge accomplishment for him, having stayed at one school for pretty much his entire career as a student.

On top of receiving his diploma, Jeff was also honored with the Sportsmanship Award for the graduating class of 2011! After the speeches and ceremony ended, we all enjoyed a buffet lunch with champagne and beers on the TASIS lawn, and then Jeff, Ross, and I snuck away for a pint at the local pub just outside of the school grounds.

It was an awesome day for the whole family, and we wish Jeff the best of luck in his next challenge at Texas!

Laura, Sarah, Me, Jeff, Mom, Amy, & Ross
