The Proud Moment!!

RJ and Uncle Robin-smiling with no teeth-don't ask me why!

RJ, Sheila and Wendell


Ceci and all the kids had a blast!

I teased Wendell that he looked like a priest! Here he is, enjoying a cold one after it was all done!

Yes, we survived! RJ is officially a graduate of Britton-Hecla High School! Maybe the first black student to have graduated from our school? The graduation ceremony was really nice and RJ's reception went well. Thank you to all friends and family who attended and sent cards and gifts! I wish I could have gotten to talk to more people, but it was busy!! RJ's uncle and granny attended the ceremony-we were sure glad they could come.

RJ is officially going to Lindenwood University this fall. Basketball is up in the air, literally, and Mom is really hoping he gets to play--I'm not ready to quit watching him play yet! But, that is up to him and the coach. He is very excited to leave the nest and move to the big city! RJ is currently working at Beadle Nursery doing landscaping tasks, but is not thrilled about getting up at 5:30 am and working for 12 hours a day--we will see how that goes.

I am finishing up at school and looking forward to a summer filled with days at the pool with Ceci, long runs in the evenings, a trip to D.C. later in June and a 20 (gasp!) year reunion in July. Enjoy the pics and have a great summer!!
