  Congratulations Graduates!

  All three of our oldest children earned degrees in December. Isaac had actually walked with his class last May, but had one class to take in the Fall to earn his degree. Cassie earned her degree in December, but will be walking with her class this coming May. Complicated, huh? But anyway, all three of them were completely finished in December so on February 28th we had a joint Open House for them in their honor. We are so proud of them!

  Here are the three graduates: Natasha (Accounting Degree), Isaac (Associates Degree), and Cassie (B.A. in General Music Degree). Congratulations to all three of you!

  

  

  There was lots of fun and fellowship happening all day long. It was good to see so many friends from both far and near.

  We don't have a large house, so there were people pretty much wall to wall. The crowd in the kitchen rotated every so often.

  

  

  

  

  As did the crowd in the dining room...

  

  

  

  

  

  

  Never did get any good pictures of the rotations happening in the living room. And so many people were not captured on camera even though we tried to get everyone. It was a fun, busy afternoon!

  Had to keep replenshing the sherbet in the punch bowl!

  

  We had to take my dad into emergency the night before and he was admitted into the hospital for nine days and then the Christian Health Care Center for another seven. It was pretty hard to keep my mind on the Open House, but it was wonderful to have so many people here helping our family to celebrate and also showing concern for our circumstances right now. My mom was able to be with us for the day. She's sweet and dear.

  

  It seems like just yesterday that Beth and I were graduating from high school. Now three of my kids graduated from college. Time sure flies!

  

  My dear sister, Gail.

  

  And Jim and I.

  

  It was a good day and we, once again, feel so very blessed by the Lord!
