Graduation Day!!


I am so proud of Jefferson! Graduation was so amazing. I can't believe we finally made it and that Jefferson is graduated. I am pretty sure I was teary-eyed from the time I walked in the ballroom where graduation was held til the time all the graduates walked out. It was held at the Oregon Convention Center. It was the perfect venue and the ceremony was great. One of my favorite parts was when all the graduates and other chiropractors in the audience stood to stay the chiropractic oath and there stood Jefferson with his dad just a few rows back, both saying the oath.
During the ceremony...
GramZee had all the kids enamored and quiet with her "grandma bag":

I didn't get any great pictures of Jefferson being hooded or getting his diploma because it was so dark in there. We did manage to get a few family photos afterwards though.

After the ceremony we headed to a park to have a little luncheon with everybody. It was delicious and fun for all the kiddies to play together.

Carter hoping that if he lays down quietly in the living room we won't make him go to bed:

And now it's done... or just begun. Thank you everybody who made the trip here to support Jefferson and help us celebrate. And thank you to everyone who sent their congratulations! We wouldn't be here without all of you! Congratulations Jefferson!! You did it! We are so proud of you and so grateful for your years of hard work, long hours, and amazing balancing. We love you Dr. Harmon!
