WHEW! What a busy weekend. We left home on Fri. and stayed the night with Joel's sister in NC. Joel had a graduation on Saturday in VA. Then Teagan had a birthday party at my sister's house on Sunday. On Tuesday my nephew had a graduation ceremony from Elementary school. I will be in VA with family until this weekend. We've been having a blast. Daddy went home on Monday and we miss him so much. :(
I'll make a post for each event!
Joel's graduation was fun. He graduated Summa Cum laude and earned an AAS in Networking Security and Managment. He is starting a Bachelors program this July already! The boys behaved fairly well seeing as we had to sit for almost an hour waiting for it to begin and then even longer through the speeches and getting through all the names. I had snacks, crayons, coloring books and small reading books. We made it through wonderfully. It was also great that the two families on either side of us really enjoyed playing with the boys. It was very hard for me to get photos of Joel going across the stage since the kids were jumping on me and it was kind of dark and Joel was walking quickly. We did get photos of him afterward in front of a building outside the Hall.
A funny story: Joel brought a pair of khakis and nice shoes. Well the pants ended up being too tight (he didn't try them on before leaving) and did not look good at all with his shoes. We were lucky there was a mall a block away from the hall and we arrived 1 1/2 hrs. early. We were very lucky to find him a very nice pair of pants that fit and looked good with his shoes for only $20 in Dillards. He was threatening to wear just his shorts and flipflops, lol.
When we arrived at my sister's house, she had it all decorated in Grad paraphernalia. We also attended a big cook out with many family members!
