Alyssa graduated yesterday. It's official, on top of being 18, she is now a high school graduate. Brian, the kids, Grandma and I made the trek to Ohio to be there for her special day. We were all very proud. After the ceremony we went to Alyssa's house for her graduation party, then piled back into the car for the long drive home. It doesn't seem possible that Alyssa could be grown up so fast. It seems like just yesterday she was skipping around my front yard telling me to marry her dad... our little girl has grown up into a young lady. She plans on going to a community college in Ohio (boo) in order to be a nurse.
I realized yesterday that we only have six years until Noah graduates. I know six years sounds like a long time, but time goes by so quickly! It seems as if the girls were just born, and now they are off to preschool. Ricky is going into 3rd grade, Matthew to kindergarten... sometimes I just want to yell "STOP GROWING UP!" Our life is so busy that it's hard to appreciate all the little things that make having a family so special. I want to savor each and every minute of my children's childhood, and they won't hold still long enough for me to do it! That's it... they are all rounded. :)
Here are a few more pics of the day, it's really hard to get all the kids in a picture looking the same way at the same time, so these are the best I can do! (Ha! Upon further inspection of the pictures I see that we NEVER have everyone facing in the same direction!!)
Alyssa Marie, I love you so very much and wish you a life full of love, hapiness, and wonder. May all your dreams come true!

Hooray, Allysa!
My favorite pic is the one with Ricky (?) covering his eyes. Classic!
