Graduation Pics

Spencer's graduation was awesome. There were two different ceremonies. The first one is commencement where they get their hoods. I took the kids to that one and they had a lot of fun seeing "Papa". We yelled and cheered really loud. Lily was a bit late on the yelling so she started yelling "Papa" when they were calling the next person's name. Spencer said that he heard her. We had awesome seats so Spencer got to walk right past us two times and the kids were so happy to see him. The graduation ceremony was the second day and I knew that this would be bigger and longer so our friend Maria babysat the kids and just I went. It was very cool to see Spencer all dressed up. We also had a blast seeing so many beloved friends. We really enjoyed seeing everyone and we felt so loved. Ollie and Lily had fun playing with their friends. We loved our three years in Lubbock and have so many fond memories. It was wonderful to go back and remember.



Here's a nice family photo.



Ollie was telling Lily to turn her head and look at the camera. Lily was telling us she has "chubby cheeks".



Spencer all dressed up.



Look how happy he looks. :)
