Home in May for Graduation !

As most of you know, when we moved to England a little over two years ago, we had to leave our sixteen year old son at home in the states to finish out high school.  His choice, not ours.   It was time for graduation

 and we went home for his ceremony and to host a party for family and friends.  My sister, Dawn, has been living with Ben and attending all his school functions.  She is glad that she will not be known as the "single mother" of a high school student anymore.  Yes, Ben's absentee parents were in the house that evening!  We really enjoyed seeing everyone, young and old alike, friends and family.  We were finally able to see Ben give one of his "famous" speeches that we have only heard about or watched on You Tube.  What a wonderful one week turnaround trip.  Ben will continue on to the University of Illinois (Dad's college) and study Communications and go on to Seminary from there.  

Go Ben!  We love you!

Sorry Pam, you don't look old enough to have a son graduating from high school. Nope, can't believe it. Did you find the fountain of youth?

I wish Lois! I have plenty of new fine lines arriving everyday since coming to England. Or maybe the lack of sun has actually been good for the face???
