Whew! Finally, let summer begin!

The past week has been quite busy for our family, but now that the dust has settled and Anna has graduated, we've gone to several grad. parties, had our own party, gone to a three day swim meet and painted the outside of our house, I feel that I can finally enjoy the summer and update the blog with all the happenings. 

The first, Anna's Graduation...

Anna graduated on Thursday the 10th, at the new Convention Center. My mom and dad joined the rest of us, (minus Elijah, who was with a sitter), to watch Anna get her high school diploma. High school, at times, was a struggle for Anna. She had to work twice as hard as some others to get good grades. I'm proud that she made it. She  and I are now touring cosmetology schools to decide which is right for her.

Come on guys, why the solemn faces??

That's better!

Bored, waiting 45 minutes for the ceremony to start isn't much fun for a 3 year old

Luckily, she has big brothers to entertain her

This is all of Anna getting her diploma that I could see, via the screen

Let the congratulations begin

With Nana and Grandaddy

With brothers and sister

With a special hug from Abbey

With Elijah, once we got home

She did it!!

Before I know it, she will be wearing one for real!
