Chris, the Graduate!

Very proud parents!



Can't believe it, he did it. AFHE always puts on a great graduation. It was a wonderful weekend. To all of you that were able to attend any of the festivities this weekend thank you for coming and especially for loving Chris and our family.




Proud grandparents!



All my babies, and my sweet son in law.





The story behind this picture is precious. When Lexi walked over to have her picture taken with Chris, Michael said it looked like she wanted to kiss him on the cheek. I asked her "did you want to kiss Chris on the cheek?" she said, yes, I said go ahead and kiss him on the cheek, she said. "Can I, really? I said yes, so you are witnessing their first kiss. Precious kids. I love that girl! What a blessing to have children with a respect for parents and for themselves to stay pure to the point of not even kissing on the cheek. Oh and by the way, I did speak with Lexi's mom the next day to make sure that I did not over step my bounds.

And a big thank you to the Dyksterhouse family for allowing us to have Chris's party at their home. You were gracious and helpful. Thank you it was a wonderful party. Even though we did not use the backyard you made it look so nice for us. Loved the huge Mafia game in the living room. Fabulous house and wonderful family.

Congrats to the graduate! We are so proud of you Chris! Love all the pictures, but this side of the kiss picture does not think it qualifies as a "real" kiss because there was no pucker involved! Hmmm, maybe she wants a second chance...

They are great kids and we are so proud of their desire to keep their relationship pure. It's not easy in todays world and their example to other young people is a great testimony of their love for God and each other!

Congrats Christ and family. It takes all of you when you home school! You should all be congratulated.

It was a nice gathering at the Dyksterhouse's. Sweet times. Blessings on you Chris as you ask God's guidance for your future.
We're proud of you.
