FREEDOM...

In an answer to many prayers and a sure sign that miracles still happen, Brady graduated this morning at 10 a.m. Mine was the yell heard round the world! He pulled it out and for that I am very thankful and proud.



The band performed one last time.

Oh yes, that is our boy walking away with a diploma folder in hand. The actual diploma comes later next week.

 Cory and Brady have been best friends for a few years now. They came into each other's lives just when they both needed a good friend and for that I am thankful. I love that kiddo.

And God willing, 2 years from now this other handsome boy of ours will be graduating.

 A very proud Nanny. I suspect if it were not for her and Giggee praying nonstop over the last few weeks this boy might not have gotten to enjoy today.

 The smile that is pasted on my face may not leave for a few days. I'm telling you, it has been touch and go around here on the graduation front!

 These two guys have been in school together since Kindergarten in Miss Julies class. It's hard to believe they are all grown up now.

 Brady's first choice for celebration lunch was Steak and Shake. SERIOUSLY! Thank goodness he changed his mind he decided on Old Chicago instead. We had a great lunch with Giggee and Pop. Unfortunately we forgot to get any pictures with them.

       Emma loved the graduation cap. She also found a cool stick to keep her entertained.

                                                             Too much of a good thing!



So I seriously managed to avoid shedding any tears. I may have gotten a little misty eyed once and I did have a few flashbacks to the early years and how quickly they have gone by. I would just like to say, despite all the hardships that have gone along with attempting to get this boy out of school, he has never given us any real trouble and makes me proud everyday. I consider it an honor and a privilege to be his mom and can't wait to see where this life takes him. We love you buddy.
