Graduation

Can you find Bryan? This is before graduation on Friday.

And this is after.

Bryan's dad and brother's took care of the boys while I spent the majority of the ceremony chasing Phoebe around the halls. Of course we waited until after Bryan's name was read.

This is the only non-blurry picture we got that day.

I was pretty sad when I discovered the blurriness of the other pictures. Bryan sent out a message to his newly-graduated classmates and asked if anyone still had their graduation regalia. Luckily, a few of people did. One fellow messaged Bryan and said that they were taking family pictures on Sunday evening and we could meet them on-campus to take some pictures of our own. The gown fit, the cap was a bit snug.

Did I mention that the wife of this MBA is a professional photographer? She took pity on me and my little point-and-shoot camera and offered to take the pictures and send them to us. We said yes.

We washed the clothes that the kids wore on Friday and dressed them as they had been that day. I just wore what I'd worn to church.

This is my favorite of the kids.

I LOVE the framing of this one. See the Y in the background? And that big gray building just below the Y? That's where Bryan had most of his classes.

This is my favorite of me and Bryan. Pity two-thirds of the children are closing their eyes. And Cooper appears to be picking his nose...

During the last few days we've done... very little. My dishes are piling up and the laundry really needs to be folded, but I'm so relived to be done I've lounged around watching TV and poking about on Facebook. That's right, I've been on Facebook, a rather unusual occurrence during the past few years.

I'm sure that I'll even out soon, stop lazing about and start taking care of things. I think I'm just recovering from running at top speed for too long.
