Graduation Day

I don't have any pictures from graduation itself--some may be coming if other family members forward photos along to me--but here are a few from Sunday.

Before graduation, we did gifts with Phillip. Jameson felt the need to present his gift with proper deference and respect . . .
Phillip wore the suit that my mom bought him. Here is he showing off the watch that we gave him . . .

My mom was able to come out from Oregon for the week, which is something we never would have expected a year ago or six months ago.

Jeannette's good friend Ellen made the trip with Mom to help her just survive all the details of life on the road. It was great to have her around and get to show her a little of our life in Indiana . . .

Here MelodyJoy is admiring Grandma's necklace . . .

Because Jeannette's dad was around, we made sure to get some family pictures. Rest assured that his pictures will be better than this one, but this can serve as an appetizer . . .

We also got a picture of Phillip with his namesake, Grandpa Phil, as well as Grandma Debbie, Grammie (or is it Grammy? I never know) and Grandma Muntz . . .

After graduation, we tried to get some pictures of Phillip with his friends and with family . . .

We're proud of Phil and his good work in school. We're not sure what's next on his agenda. He's deposited at Cedarville University and that seems like a good option for him but Ellen works at Corban University out in Oregon and talking with her kind of reignited his interest in going there. He really misses Oregon and going to Corban would get him back to his old stompin' grounds. He's applied for admission now and we're waiting to see whether he's admitted and what his financial aid looks like. Be praying!
