Graduation day came! It was wonderful and happened all too quickly.
Leigh got to take both girls across the stage with him. It took a little peer pressure on my part, but he did it, he loved doing it, and everyone else loved it. Originally we decided to not have him take the girls across the stage because they are a lot to handle and getting pretty heavy to carry two at a time. Then I saw someone else carrying their toddler across the stage and I knew he just had to do it. So as he was walking to wait to have his name called, I followed like a crazy person and handed them off as we got to the stage.
Check out the lady on the left--she was beaming at Kendal & Lyla (and Leigh).
I made the girls their own caps and gowns (thanks HolliJo for the instructions!!). They wouldn't wear the caps most of the time--but I got Lyla to wear hers after everything was over. Adorable, right? They both got lots of attention (which they loved) and were congratulated many times.
We made it!!!
This has been a long time in the making, I thought this day was forever in the future--but he did it!
We had lots of family come celebrate this wonderful event. We were so happy to see them all and celebrate with them.
Same picture in 16 years?? And again in 20?
