Another baby graduates!

Our third baby graduated from high school today. Jerri is such a sweetheart, and I'm going to miss her terribly when she goes away to college. So far we have one majoring in law, one in veterinary medicine, and Jerri is undecided between dental hygenist and elementary teacher. We still have two left to go and those years are going to go way too fast I'm afraid. I am already feeling the empty nest syndrome. :(

I'm going to put a family photo on my home page, in case anyone would like to have a peek at all of us.

Congratulations to you and Jerri, Joan! Three kids doing great things ~ you must be so proud! If you're not, then get that way quick, girl ~ you have a right to be. :-)

Thank you Wingnut, we are very proud! We are also very broke! LOL! But, it's all worth it to see our kids turning out well.

Jerri is an honor student with a 3.8 GPA over 4 years of high school. She loves children and wants to have a dozen of her own. Yikes! I think she would make a wonderful teacher, but that decision is up to her. We will support her in whatever she decides is best for her.

Okay, I'm done bragging. We are very proud of our kids!

Joan what a lovely talented family you have. No wonder you are proud and rightly so!! Jerri is beautiful!! Congratulations all round!! :-)

Hi Joan,
Congratulations!
I knew she had a good GPA
(before reading all of the above posts)
because of those gold cords.
'Love those gold cords! :-)
Tell her: "Way-to-go!" for all of her
hard work in school.

Congratulation to you both, besides her being smart she is also pretty.

All that and brains, too, Joan? Awesome! Oh, no you're not done bragging ~ get back on here and do some more. LOLOL! Really and honestly, if there's anything to be proud of, this is it, so come on and brag some more! You've earned it. :-)

congratulations, your daughter looks lovely.

Joan, she is beautiful! You have every right in the world to be proud. It sure sounds like you are raising some great kids!! Sure hope I can live up to the challenge. LOL

Congratulations Jerri! Joan I know you are very proud and with every reason she is a beautiful young lady.

Thank you all so much for your kind words. We think she's a beauty too. Today I'm rested from all the festivities and feeling kind of depressed. Sorta like post partum depression even. I cried lots yesterday and still doing it on and off today. Strange huh? It's been so nice to have all the kids around again though.

Oh I'm so happy for you and feel that feeling that only a parent can when they see their children in these wonderful caps and gowns. Even shedding a happy tear or two as well. Thank you for sharing it and congratulations to all!

Joan, congratulations to you all. You are a great looking bunch and your daughter is going to set some hearts throbbing!! My kids have all graduated from school, but my first grandson just graduated from High School Sat. night. Boy, now that makes me feel old.

Joan, you have alovely girl there and you have alot to be thankful for!! Tell her good luck. My DH and I have a niece graduating this June, too, and it seems like just yesterday she was a knobby kneed kid! Good luck to your whole family!

Joan, the family picture is so nice. You look GREAT! Your daughter has the face of an angel. So does her mom!

she's lovely and so are you! great to see the whole family!

Sure is nice seeing you and your family there. :) How's she adjusting to the I'm-not-in-highschool-anymore feeling?
