Charity's graduation~by Beth

It's official, we now have 8 home schooled graduates at the Blikstad casa.  The weeks before we spent sprucing up the house and yard.  The Lord was good to send a lot of rain during the week before graduation so that the grass got very green and full, and saved us from going out at 4 am to start and move the sprinkler two mornings that week.  The weekend before graduation we got some mistint paint from Sherwin Williams and painted the formerly pink accent wall to a bright blue.  I was hoping for a more teal color, but everyone loves the blue around here.  We also trimmed up Charity and Johanna's hair.  This was also Mother's day weekend, so I added a picture of the beautiful bouquet that Caleb sent me.  Love those!!  The rest of the pics are from rehearsal and graduation, followed by the open house we had here at home.

Charity's hair is ready for graduation.

We also celebrated Christiana's 20th birthday this past week.  The day before I took all the girls and Stephen shopping (thrift store, mall, and a few other places).  The last photo is of us taking a break from all that shopping to have a drink from Starbucks using a couple of my gift cards.
