We got Graduated!

This has been a long time coming - literally and figuratively - 18 years to be exact which is how old Reedo is now!

This was his Kindergarten picture - just a tiny guy with a great big smile!

Here he is in the middle of the Chivers twins - great kids who played hockey and graduated with Reed.  This is their "badass boys" pose for team pictures.  It is one of my all time favorite pictures!

Here they are at the Graduation!  They are Graduated!!!  An 18 year long journey culminating in this moment in time.  They couldn't really duplicate the "badassness" of the hockey picture but they tried hard - even had the "game faces" on!  Some of it may have been a little "take the darn picture mom"!

It took a while to get a good picture of any of them - they would all look a different direction at the same time and bless Isaac Smoldons heart - he tried to run quickly and block the glaring light above their heads but really only succeeded in a bizarre set of photo bombs!

Bomb 1

Bomb 2

And we got the girl graduated too!  Such a joy to see all the kids finish strong and with smiles on their faces and diplomas in their hands!

Now on to the next chapters in their beautiful lives!  Can't wait to see what it holds and what adventures we all will have!
