Graduation Photos

We made it through graduation for Sam! It turned out to be a very sweet and personal program. The speaker, Chris, a family friend and preacher, did an outstanding job, and I think all the moms shed a few tears. Even some of the uncles "got something in their eye!" Sam looked handsome as ever and made us proud. Here are a "few" pictures from his day:

We stand with Sam as his biography is read, and I try not to cry....

Sam gives me a rose and a hug....

One of the neat things about home school graduations is that the world stops for you, and everyone takes lots of pictures! In fact, they insist on it!

The 'Sammer'

Sam has a few refreshments!

Sam with the 86 year old pianist, Ms. Brandon! She was outstanding! Anyone that can play 3 rounds of Pomp and Circumstance live on a piano and hit the notes is A-O.K. in my book!
