Today your Mama was the very proud, honored and humble academic advisor for 22 masters students and 4 doctoral students who walked across a stage to receive their diplomas. I got to tell their daughters, sons, spouses, moms and dads how brilliant, accomplished and fantastic each of them is!! What a wonderful job I have… I am so grateful for the things God asks me to do.

Pete, Vince, Ellen and John – my first for doctoral graduates! I couldn’t be more happy or proud!!

At the end of this busy day – after singing with the Gospel, we went to see a friend of Madeline’s in a play at SOTA with Em, Christine, Madeline, Daniel & Julie: School House Rocks!

A small sample of senior Em’s amazing artwork:

On our way home, we stopped at our dear friend Jo Ann’s home for a quick visit…. She TOTALLY made Maya’s day by inviting Maya to pick WHATEVER flower she wanted from her GORGEOUS garden – check out the one she chose:

Thanks Jo Ann!!!

What a wonderful day – we were both so tired when we got home… you fell asleep in my lap while rocking. How precious. I treasure my time with you.
