Johnathan graduates!

The first of our 8 grandkids has graduated from high school. Yea, for Johnathan. We've spent recent weeks celebrating. Our church had a special luncheon and recognition for each of the 70 high school graduates that are members of the church.

The church printed cards with pictures of the graduates. This shows both sides of Johnathan's card.

The following week, both sets of grandparents joined the proud parents and siblings to see Johnathan receive his diploma in the Longview High School stadium. 

There were nearly 600 in Johnathan's graduating class.

We were pleased he graduated with 20 college hours.


The following night, our family had a small celebration together at our home. Each of us gave Johnathan our special Bible verse just for him, and then we prayed over him for his future. It was a good family time, signifying his next stage in life.

...with Papa and Lola....

...with parents, Molly and Noel....

...and with his brothers, Carl and Elliott. Note that Carl is nearly as tall as Johnathan now. Don't be fooled by Elliott's height, though. He's standing on a stool! All three boys are hiding apples they are eating, hence their silly grins.
