Red and White Graduation BBQ Party
So, on Friday evening, this happened:
Connor graduated from high school summa cum laude as his little high school’s salutatorian, and we enjoyed a wonderful weekend celebrating his accomplishments.
It absolutely poured rain on Friday, but we didn’t let that dampen our spirits!

Chris was home from Kansas, and even though the days have flown by because they’ve been full of friends and family, it has been wonderful family time (almost like normal people!).
