My son the high school graduate!

Much has happened since I last posted. Which is also the reason I haven't posted. The last few days I finally feel like I can breathe again. May 19 my oldest son graduated and the next day we had his open house. I am so proud of my son!! Here are some pictures from the day.

My son Nathan drew these and we placed Josh's photo as the head. My son's nickname is Shaggy and he wears a lot of superman and spiderman shirts. What can I say it fits his personality. Nathan did a great job drawing these.

Renee did amazing. She didn't want to nap during his open house and I really didn't know how I would make it happen with everything going on. My sister-in-law brought her dog over during the open house. Renee loves her dog. They have had the dog for around 11 years now. Want to know what the dog's name is?...... China!!! Now whenever I talk about the country of China, Renee gets very excited, but she thinks I am talking about this dog. Too cute!

This is finally how I got her to go to sleep. She loves to go for a stroller walk. She had no idea I had tricked her.

Life is about to change again. Josh leaves for a 6 weeks mission trip mid-June. He has so much to get done before he leaves. I will miss him so much, but at least I have one more year with him. He is going to live at home and go to a community college in the fall. I am so thankful to have one more year. It has been a crazy year with adotion issues. I just want to enjoy my family. But it will be different in the fall. I was so aggravated when I had to get Josh finger printed when he turned 18 years old. I thought it was ridiculous that the government considered him an adult. Well guess what? My son is all grown up. I am so proud of the man he has grown to be. Look out world here he comes!
