  1. LOVE all the pictures and it looks like he had a great time...and you did too! Those family pictures will be treasured for years to come I know. I can't believe graduation day is almost here for him. I've been praying for him (and you) all year and celebrate with you.

    Thanks for all the prayers for us as well Dawn. We're at my sister/brother in law's for a few days as their town was unaffected by the storms. Hopefully David will get us a generator today and we can go home Wednesday to a generator powered home. They say up to 9 more days without power for us...but we are SO thankful to just be here! Love ya my sweet friend!!
