Graduation 2009 - Erin






















It was quite an eventual night. There were approx 380 kids graduating (all looking alike). We couldn't find Erin in the crowd - then it happened. She passed out. I didn't notice but Jim did, unfortunately he didn't know that it was Erin until I got a phone call from her in the middle of graduation, saying that she was OK. After the speeches they brought her back in (then I knew where she was sitting). Then the next big event happended. She was recognized as being in the Top 10%. They asked the parent to stand as they called the kids names. We were so proud. The rest of the night was pretty uneventful from there. I was able to maintain my composer most of the night. Grandma Murphy was worst then me (being this was her first grandchild graduating). Erin was a bit embarassed but later she told me noboby in her class realized that it happend. Well, One down and one to go. Jake's ring ceramony was last night, so he is offically a Senior. I'll post pictures on that later - and hopefully some good news but you'll have to wait until June for that posting.

MHS Prom 2009














Prom 2009 - was a hit, she had an excellent time. High School is over except for graduation. Her last class was Wednesday April 29th (that's because she was exempt from exams - great grades). She is now in party mode until college. She does have a job, working at the Gameland. She oversees b'day parties and laser tag. So far she is loving the job.
P.S. - soon this blog will be about Jake, starting with his first day of his Senor Class - May 13th 2009. After graduation, May 12th 2009 - Jake offically becomes a Senior .
