Graduation

He graduated! Our youngest child completed his pre-college schooling, and we're so proud of him. His two aunts and uncles on the mom side of the family joined his sister, dad and I to watch him get his diploma last Friday night (at a large arena normally used for equestrian shows). The whole ceremony lasted a little more than one hour, and meeting up afterwards and picture-taking took about the same amount of time. A great evening was had by all!

The great thing about the whole week preceeding the momentous event (besides seeing my sisters, et al; going downtown to DC to visit the newly reopened American History Museum; and enjoying the beautiful weather over the weekend) was that my house is now clean, some things I no longer use have been purged and pictures that spent the last two years leaning against the walls in my dining room are finally hung. So overall, it was a great week!
