Graduation

So today was the big day!  Tia has now officially graduated from high school.  We are so proud of her.  She is excited to be moving on to college and living with Lorna and Chad this summer (thanks guys!).  We are all going to miss her--especially Brooklyn, who has just gotten to the age where she can appreciate how cool her older sister is. 
 Truthfully, it really hasn't fully hit me that this day is finally here.  I'm full of so many emotions right now!
 But mostly I am so proud of her and all she has accomplished so far.
 I'm excited to see her move on to the next phase.
 And I'm going to miss her excitement and energy around here


 This is all the ladies before the ceremony.  I had to make her put on the gown.  It was too big (as most things are without her mother's altering skills) and she hated that her hands didn't show.

                                                  Here she is getting up to go backstage.

                                                                  Almost there!

 I have a picture similar to this one at my own graduation.  I wish our scanner worked so I could put the old picture in for comparing.  I am the same age in this picture as my mother was when I graduated!  Her hair will take color though, so she doesn't show as much gray (I'm considering a little Photoshop action......)  Steve and I didn't even plan our matching shirts, honest.
