Graduation Day

10:07 AM Edit This 6 Comments »
The boy graduated last night. It was a pretty nice ceremony, but we strained to see him in a class of over 600 kids. We thought we knew which one he was, then when he walked to the front of the stage, the announcer said, "Attending University of Texas at Austin." Hm, maybe not the boy. Then they mispronounced his name!!! Grrrr. But he's graduated and he's happy and he's home safe and sound, sleeping.

The boy and his girl.

The gf took our picture with the boy in his cap and gown, so we don't have a picture with him in his gown, but here's us after.

Today we're doing some sightseeing before the godmother and her SO head for the airport. Then catfish for dinner ;)

Oh, Mary, how wonderful! And your boy is totally adorable. :-) Congratulations to him, and to you & Fred. It's a long haul, isn't it? I've got one poised to graduate university next year, and another just a few years behind him.

Congratulations to all of you!

You've had pictures of him from time to time, but he's a lot more manly looking than I remember. LOL I think I've been reading your blog a lot longer than I realize. :)

Thanks, ladies! I think he's pretty adorable ;) The new haircut makes a big difference, too. He looks older.

Norah! University! I don't want to think about that yet. It was just a blink since he started HS!

Marianne, don't take any moment for granted...it goes too quick! I'm just glad I get to hold onto him a couple more years since he's staying in town for college.

Natalie, I've been blogging 4 years, so...his entire HS career! He was a scrawny thing back then ;)
