Congratulations Nate!

Good grief. I thought I posted this last night, but here it is still on the computer, today! I just failed to hit 'publish post,' I guess. Chemo brain strikes, again! Hope nobody was worried! All is good here; I just slipped a cog or something.

The picture tonight is Nate leaving to go to his graduation ceremony. I got a few pictures of the other kids and a few of him as he was getting ready. Then when we got to graduation my batteries died in the camera. When will I ever learn to take extra batteries with me??? We were too far back to get any pictures at the ceremony, but I would have taken one outside after it was over. I wanted to put this one on, though, even though it's not his best expression; but, it shows his medal that he was given at their awards ceremony. It's the faculty award and only three were given in his class of 216, so we think that's pretty good. He had to be there at 5, so Don took him while the rest of us got ready.

We were able to get there in plenty of time and enjoyed sitting with Rob's mom and step-dad and Trish and Rob during the ceremony. It was a joyful time, and we were all very, very proud. I thank God that Nate has done so very well; he has blessed us.

I thank God for a safe trip, too. We got to visit very good friends early this afternoon; I'll post pictures of that visit another night. We saw all the kids except for Sadie and Ryan who were both busy with their own 'stuff.' We'll see them next week when they come here. Our lights served us just fine coming home, so my cleaner worked pretty well. They aren't perfect, but we could see lots better, so I thank God for that, too!
