Graduation Day

The IB hood. We got to go to a special luncheon for the "hooding."
My baby.

A picture I can't figure out how to delete.


The whole gang--all 30 of us!



The proud family.

This weekend has been so great. It was so fun to have so much family here. Poor David's 16th birthday was a little lost in the commotion, but he did get a cake on Saturday. We enjoyed having the family here and I just felt so lucky to have so much love and support from everyone. It was a little bittersweet, though, to know that one more of my children has accomplished this feat and is ready to move one to the next phase of life. I am just so proud of him and his completion of the International Baccalaureate program. As an IB candidate he had to complete 150 hours of community service over the past two years. We are anxiously awaiting the results of the two week testing all of the candidates just completed.

I'm so glad you posted pictures! We were thinking of you all that afternoon of graduation and wishing that some of the rest of us could have been there to celebrate as well. Jacob's such a handsome grad! Thanks for sharing all those.

Since we never did talk while I was in the U.S., maybe now we can Skype one another, I added your ID to my list. Give everyone my love!

I was thinking of you guys all weekend, I wanted to be there so bad. When Ritchie got home on Friday I was like "Maybe it's not to late for us to go up..." Jess has been kinda fussy these last few weeks so we weren't sure how to manage the drive. I'm glad you posted all those pictures, it looks like such a fun weekend. We're so proud of Mophead!!!

It's so crazy to me that he is that old. It looks like you guys had fun all together. I wish we could have been there!
