The Graduation

So much to update so little time. Sorry I have taking a small blogging vacation. Truth be told it is all the fault of an online game.. a game so seriously addictive that I won't even tell you what it is for fear that you will be sucked in as well. It all began with a commercial, some pirates, and a little girl named Alissa. But I digress.. so much has happened I will try and get it all in here but will separate posts just because.

So first I must write about Matt's graduation from DPSST. It was a very very long 16 weeks but he survived. When we arrived I parked three miles away (ok, not really but it sure felt like it) and was preparing to walk by myself with two kids in tow (not fun when they both get tired of walking) when we ran into Justin and Lisa! Yeah! Justin was kind enough to carry Alissa the remaining two miles to the ceremony. I should mention that Alissa is totally and completely enamored with Justin. Thinks he is just the coolest thing since home-made playdoh. So to say the least she was thrilled when she got to sit with him before the graduation ceremony started.

Matt happily excepted his certificate...
And Alissa got to hang with him after the ceremony.
Of course he was up-staged by a frog she found outside.. sorry Daddy.
Here is the whole family that showed up for the big "G".
It was a wonderful ceremony and a huge relief as we are one step further in this year long journey to get Matt on the road.
