Mother's Day Weekend with the College Graduate!!

Not very often do you celebrate 4 years of hard work, the ending of one chapter, the beginning of a new chapter, becoming an alumni, no more football games, tears of happiness and the celebration of being a mom. All of these pictures took place on mother's day which also was the day Rock graduated from Wheaton College, like i said before no more football!! We started our day with Brunch at our local favorite, The Ivy (no kids were present thanx to sloan for arranging a sitter). Had a nice time playing with the boys and enjoying the beautiful day in the backyard before graduation. Took lots of fun pictures with the Grad in blue!! Had a leisurely evening in the backyard with take-out, bomb-fire, lots of laughter with friends and family!!

college is really some of the best years. never again will you live in a dorm room the size of a shoe box, have to walk half a mile to the "shared" bathroom, endure the smell of microwavable popcorn (still can't eat popcorn to this day) the numerous campus parking tickets, the familiar faces and friends everywhere you go are just some of the great things you will only do once and wouldn't change a thing about it. the freedom to do what you want with the common sense to know not to cross the line and really just becoming a more responsible version of yourself with more knowledge.

so we celebrate you and everything you do

"For Christ and His Kingdom" !!

the wheaton college moto. see it above.

what a beautiful campus i might add!

my dad took max on a walk down the cutest little sidewalk ever. this place still amazes me with it's lush green yards, giant trees and Midwestern charm. how we will miss the pick street house!!

**side note**i am really getting into photo editing...there are so many cool things to enhance the quality of each picture. i think that is where is spend most of my time when preparing a blog post. since i want to share so many photos, collages are the best way in my mind.

anyway ..
