Graduation

Well, we have another graduate in the House of Leary.

It's kind of hard to believe we have two who have graduated from high school.  My little tribe is growing up and leaving the fort.


And Kiersten received her associate's degree in the mail this week.

*I loved how the envelope said DO NOT BEND. I guess that does not apply to the mail carrier. She twisted and turned and shoved that thing in our mailbox.

Erik's principal always gives her talk centered on some movie.

At one of the tennis matches she happened to be watching, she asked an expert what movie she should incorporate into her talk. That expert was Alex, a 7 year old.


He must have told her Angry Birds because that's what she did and even made a point to tell Erik that it was Alex's idea as he came through the line.

Erik and Scott have made quite a pair over the years from kindergarten graduation to now. It's been so exciting to watch these cousins grow and mature into two fine young men who have accomplished much and will continue to do so in the years to come.


This is what we do while we wait for Erik to find us after the ceremony. Pretend we are divas.

And then duck and hide in the crowd during the ceremony so Erik can't find us. Well we didn't duck, but he sure never found us either as he continued to scan the crowd looking for us.


Two more years and we're doing this again. I guess that's the punishment for having your kids close in age . . . they tend to leave all at the same time.
