Graduates!!!

I took waaay too long to get to this post. We have two new graduates in the family. Gunner graduated from 8th grade on Friday, May 28th and Lauren graduated from high school on Saturday, May 29th. Both attend Veritas Preparatory Academy - and we are very proud of their achievements.

Gunner - the new high school freshman. Woo hoo!!

Gunner with Gommie and PaLo. Nice blue coordination going on there!

Gunner and his friend Geneva  - and I don't think they planned to match because Gunner's wearing a brand new shirt. Just worked out that way. Geneva's off to India for 2 months to help at an orphanage. Be well, Geneva!

Lauren and Tara just before graduation. You two made it!!!

The new graduate with Laura Sergent, Matthew and Molly Workman...

...and with the fathers: Poppy, Fr. John Bethancourt and Fr. James Coles.











We are especially grateful to our extended family for making this weekend so special: Mom and PaLo (Happy Birthday, Mom!) from Albuquerque, Fr. John from Santa Fe, and the Workmans, the Sergents, the Coles, the Dodds, and Ann Carroll from Phoenix. And for everyone who's been praying for us.

Chris is back in the Middle East. We're just waiting to hear that he's safely back in his CHU with Trigger. That must be one lonely bike!
