Another graduate in the family

And here's the family photo to prove it. The SRHS 2007 graduation went smoothly, 3 hrs long but smoothly. As you can see by the 500 watt smile on missy's face - it was a huge success! Can't believe our baby has graduated high school and did so well while working full time hours at Subway. First there was the diploma with French Immersion, then two bursaries - the IODE for $500 and the Roseway Hospital Auxilary for another $500 to add to her $750 award from University of New Brunswick. As one of the teachers said "she just ran across that stage before we changed our mind about the money". Every cent helps with the cost of university now. Lots of photos snapped and hugs and goodbyes all around. The bus arrived at 10:15 p.m. and the kids are off to Safe Grad until 4:30 a.m. Daughter # 2 is the taxi service at that unreal hour and then will be getting up with me when I head off to work to catch the bus back to the city. She's already planning her in transit nap. The graduate has to be a sandwich artist at 3 p.m. so sleep will be at a premium for all of us.

The old guy and myself are sneaking away to the camp this weekend because all this excitement just has to come to an end. I have Monday off work as well so we'll head back on Sunday and will still have time to putter about. Must crash for a few hours. Later.
