Second Colleg graduate in the family!!!


Our second college graduate in the family! Dad was the first a few years ago and I was incredibly proud of him for that.

This weekend Melissa our daughter number 2 graduated Magna Cum Laude, with a degree in secondary education, English.
Here she is with proud Gramma!
We are all so PROUD of her!
This is one of those things that makes it all worth it!!! All the parenting, all the work hours to keep them in school! All worth it!

Now we have daddy with 3 of his girls. Good times!!


Gosh it's so important to have these times with family isn't it?



Here we all are at breakfast before the ceremony.

Dad, Becky -daughter #3, her boyfriend Ben (he's my BFF Rose, but that's another story!), Lissa the honored one!, grandma, the lovely Miss V, and me. I was so proud I'm surprised there are buttons left on my jacket!

Here are daughters #2 and #3, Becky (in orange) will graduate next spring and I'll be bursting with pride again! Anyway, here they are showing off the bags that my super friend, and the officer in charge of coffee made for them! Aren't they awesome? The girls obviously LOVE those very special bags!

You and Jim have done an amazing job raising those wonderful girls! I can only imagine the sacrifices you two made so your girls could realize such success! Well done, Mom and Dad. Well done!

I'm also very pleased that they like their bags. I liked making them for the Green girls!
