Icing on the Cake!

Joseph technically finished his Master's Degree in August. On December 12th we drove up to Logan so he could get "hooded" and make his walk across the stage. It was a fantastic day. There he is, the handsome one in the crowd. (I am not sure what I did to this picture, but it was a great shot.)
We took the two little girls with us. Zac and Sariah did not want to miss school, especially since it was Polar Express day in Kindergarten. Some good friends took care of the kids after school. The ceremony was short and sweet and definitely worth the drive. The girls were wonderful. When the string quartet began playing, Ally piped up, "Mom, the orchestra is playing." I did not even know she knew that word.
A glimpse of the future. (A future that is coming way too fast.)
Brook is proud of her Daddy and so are we. He worked hard and sacrificed time and sleep. It is a great feeling to know that it is done.
Grandpa Anson came up with us, too. Thanks, Dad, for making the trip and for always supporting us.

CONGRATS Joe! It is always an exciting day when we finish school but some how it is a bigger deal when you are raising/supporting a family while you are going through it! Good for all of you!
