Two Graduations

We had two sons graduating this May - one who wanted a big celebration and one who seemed to care less.  I was extremely proud of both Noah and Caleb, but I guess it made it easier just having one party.  Noah's party happened a week BEFORE graduation.  



The weekend before, he and I took a trip to Bluffton, SC to help him pick out his new apartment.  We also stopped by the Arts Center where he'll be working. 


I got no photos of the actual party.  I think we were just too busy having fun.  Rebecca and the kids came as did my sister, Ann, and her husband, David.   A lot of folks dropped in to congratulate Noah and wish him well in South Carolina!

We were afraid that graduation day at Lee might get rained out.  But the rain stopped early in the morning, and they were able to have an outdoor ceremony.  Noah graduated summa cum laude with majors in Theater and Psychology and minors in Deaf Studies and Studio Art.  We were so proud that he graduated WITH A JOB!




After we helped Noah pack up his apartment, we drove back to Knoxville and made celebratory picture with the family.  


Then, believe it or not, we hit the road for DC, so that we could catch a plane to Italy with both of our new graduates (and Meredith) the next day!
