The Final Graduation

You may or may not have noticed that last Friday the "days until graduation" counter on the blog has finally hit zero.  Talk about exciting!!

As graduation was in the evening we found a baby sitter to be with the girls so we could enjoy the ceremony.

Now my camera isn't great in low light.  Here's Corey parading into graduation with his fellow classmates. (ha ha, can't you see him?!)

I did get a half decent picture of when they called Corey's name.  Here is the grad shaking hands with the dean.

 

Here is Corey and his classmate friends.  We were really lucky to make some great friends here.  The wives of some of these guys got together often, which helped make the school years much more bearable!

Here's Corey in his fancy graduation garb.

Happy end of school Corey!  We are all very proud of your hard work.

Six Years

Today we celebrated our sixth anniversary.  We can't believe six years have gone by, which probably means we're old. 

I wish I could say we had a delightful day, but I'd be lying. 

We had a long week with sick or not feeling well kids.  Noelle had the brunt of it--fevers, bad sore throat, stomach bug, then consequences of dehydration from stomach bug.  Thankfully Noelle is finally feeling better tonight, she even asked to eat food and drink something (huzzah!).  She was even smiling and giggling before bed.  Sigh of relief!

Moving past the pitty party...this morning while were occupied (nap, movie) we snuck outside to take pictures.  We have to document these things or else we'll forget.

Love my flowers this year!  Such a fun mix of flowers, and it even has some bells of Ireland (the green flowers)--those were in my wedding bouquet.  Corey and Noelle picked out a great arrangement.  It was cute the florist gave Noelle a few daises that she happily brought home.

 
Even though we've had a stressful week with kids we're glad we're in this together and look forward to many more (and hopefully happier) anniversaries to come.  I think when the girls are older I'm going to go all out for Cinco de Mayo just for fun.  Even though we have nothing really to do with it we'll make it a family holiday.
