Joel graduates-by Beth


Saturday was the day for Joel's graduation. What a whirlwind year with school, college classes 5 days a week, soccer, reffing, basketball, soccer again, and just a lot of activities mixed in. Our home school support group does a really nice graduation, rivaling any school grad you have ever been to. Above is the photo of Joel and his high school faculty (Dad and Mom) just before heading out the door. Before the ceremony and reception we were priviledged to attend another reception for Ronald McDonald House scholarship recipients. From there we headed over to the church where graduation was held. Joel's part in the program included his speech, singing a duet with his best bud Josh, and then playing a Jean Sebelius piece on the piano, which he played beautifully. Sunday we had a nice reception for both Joel and Josh and had a large group of people here. We got it all cleaned up and now are turning the corner to getting ready for our big trip to NC, VA, TN and OH. We still have a few grad things to finish and of course then getting Joel and Caleb registered at Edison for classes. Caleb will begin his dual enrollment so can hitch a ride with Joel. Time to get packing. Maybe we will see some of you on our trip.
