Caleb's Graduation, part 1 (2021)

Seems like just yesterday that my sweet boy was beginning kindergarten...

Before graduation, our church had an open house for the graduates. We set up Caleb's table and sent in a slideshow with some of his favorite music. It was a really nice time!

The five graduates this year... four of them we have known since baby days!

A sweet time of parents praying over their children...

ALL of us were weepy...

Caleb and his gorgeous girlfriend by his table...

He got his cap and gown and tried it on at home. I started crying... how can we already be here?

I was very happy for him that he got an academic award. He worked hard in school this past year, we are proud of him!

All dressed up and ready to go... I loved that he matched his tie to the cord and gown! His cap has a Star Wars quote by Jengo Fett.

Walking in to "Pomp and Circumstance..."

There he is... Wah-Hoo! He did it!

We took photos after the ceremony in his cap and gown...

With Mom and Dad... the bad part about the ceremony was the WIND! You can see in the background how the wind blew the gowns, cords, sashes, caps, and tassels.

With the whole family...

The four kids...

Three generations...

Part of me was sad that he didn't do the homeschool graduations. He went his own way for his senior year. He really enjoyed being in public school. He made some new friends. He did really well in his classes. There was a big load off of me, but I missed him being home. 

We are so thankful for our wonderful son, what a gift from God he is to us. He has always been ALL boy! We pray that he does well as he heads off to our local university in the fall to study Sports Management/ Kinesiology. We thank God for our Caleb, and for helping him reach this milestone!

1 Kings 17:23
Elijah picked up the child and carried him down from the room into the house. He gave him to his mother and said, “Look, your son is alive!”

Psalm 11:7
For the Lord is righteous,
he loves justice;
the upright will see his face.

Proverbs 10:1
The proverbs of Solomon: A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.
