Graduation Attitude

So it is official, Rick and I are over halfway to being empty-nesters.  I guess in reality we are probably closer to being empty-nesters than starting as new parents since Hunter is 22 and Emily will be 18 in only 9 years.

I loved the thought during this year's ceremony that focused on Graduation not being the end of learning, but it was a Commencement - the start of what should be a lifetime of learning and experiencing.

After their individual graduation ceremonies, during our picture taking extravaganza, we asked each son to strike a senior pose.  The poses are as different as their personalities.

Hunter Class of 2008

Wil Class of 2011

Jon Class of 2012

I can hardly wait to see what the girls pull off.  But we have 7 years to wait for the first one.

Congratulations to the Class of 2012!! May your future be bright.
