Graduation Weekend!

 It seems like yesterday these two cherub cousins, Meghan & Eric, were graduating from Kindergarten.  Today they both graduated from High School.  Congratulations on your hard work in reaching this milestone.

The happy grad

We celebrated the weekend with family and friends - to whom all we owe thanks to for their part in Eric's life.
As the graduation ceremony came to a close, the graduates decided to do a "flash mob" (click here to see it) ( and here to see the rest of it) send-off.  It was really quite entertaining.

He got the diploma!

Indy food truck, Molly's Chicago Fire, was a HUGE hit with all the guests,  so if you need great food at an upcoming party, this truck is recommended!  It was great seeing all the smiles and hearing so many great stories from years leading to this moment.  It will be fun to see where all these young adults will head into the future.  It's on to Florida for Eric to hone his "tinkering" and scuba skills into an Ocean Engineering degree.  Meghan is off to Indiana University where her gifted writing skills will be very valuable as she pursues her degree.

Finally, here is the highly anticipated memory quilt which Eric so cleverly assisted in designing, complete with cell phone pockets, and a QR code smack dab in the center.  I'm just happy that he loves it.  It does a mom's heart good to know that something that she lovingly created is appreciated!  

The Memory Quilt is finished!

As you both matriculate to your colleges, take this well meaning advice from a friend's parent written to Eric:

"RECIPE FOR COLLEGE BALANCE

Believe in God

Believe in yourself

Eat Right

Exercise

Sleep

Study

Socialize

If you get in a funk, you're probably out of balance"

We love you!
