Thursday already!
We had a wonderful evening last night. My son graduated. What a proud moment that was. He's grown up to be such a wonderful man! I was one proud momma hearing from his teachers how nice of a young man he is. I knew it but to hear from so many teachers had me feeling pretty proud of him. A yr ago we wondered if we'd get to this point but he pulled his stuff together and worked hard and it all paid off. Sadie was excited to watch big brother graduate. He was a proud big brother walking her around to meet everyone. His best friend was the class speaker...it was really neat to see how much he's grown and matured as well. We did nothing other than graduation. We came home and he stayed to go with his friends. He was out until almost 2am. No worries though with him...he's very good and I don't have to wonder what he was up to. I will include some photos too.
Tonight we are just going to the Y for a bit and then staying home. I need to get working on his photo boards for the party next weekend.

CONGRATS, Momma!!!!!! That is one HUGE accomplishment!!! for him & you as well, being the parent, hoping you have raised a good citizen.
Our vacation went as well as could be down to California. DH's dad was at STanford University when we first arrived (a 4 hour drive from his parents house) the following afternoon, they arrived home, they were there for 5 days.... they put in a PICC catheter, and gave him LOTS of cheom, essentially killing off his immune system. So, when his dad got home, he was very, very week & ill. DH's mom works part-time in the morning foe the school district, so, all week long, we took his dad, daily to see the doc in their home town, and they would give him 3 chemo shots EVERY DAY in his belly.... finishing off killing his stem cells & immune system, and then they started doing blood work to check on the lab values & numbers that they needed him to get to, for the 'next phase'. His dad had to wear a respirator out of the house, and beside the "big trip" out to the doctor's office, he was house-bound. Very strict diet & could not be outside with all of the pollen & mold. It did not matter to us, WE WERE THERE FOR MORAL SUPPORT & whatever else that they needed, that was the purpose of our trip & when we booked the tickets (we had already asked for the time off together form both of our jobs back in February) in April..... we had no idea where his dad would be in the process, but that just did not matter to us. As of last night, his parents were back in the car, his dad's lab values were where Stanford needed them to be & they wanted them there at 7am this morning. I think part of this is for the electrophoresies, and taking some of his bone marrow as well.
But, we are glad we were able to go down & help in whatever way we could. We did do little 'day' trips, his mom was working, and after his dad wouls have his early 8:30 or 9am appointment, his dad wouls want to go home & nap. So, DH, Hunter & I would go out for 2-3 hours & look around, do some walking & go to a park, or something, so that Hunter could bur n off some excess energy.
Have a GREAT DAY!!!!
