Emma, Class of 2008

Well, Graduation Time has been long-anticipated, happily experienced, and now over...and there is a three year break until the next high school grad lives in our home!

The festivities were great with warm, sunny, June Florida weather. At least on the first day of hurricane season her party wasn't blown away or even rain-delayed!

I'll let the pictures do the talking....
On her way...

Coordinating meeting spots with fellow grads

Sisters waiting patiently


And now she enters!

Receiving her diploma from a favorite teacher, Mr. Mocherman

She didn't trip coming off the platform!

Look, Mom...I did it!
Best buddy since 7th grade, Dan Lavonti

Two down, one to go....

Proud parents

Emma watching the incredible 23 minute slide show Uncle Paul did for her....

This is a brief interruption to give you a link to the slide show...it may take a bit to download, but it's great!! Thanks again, Paul for your incredible work and amazing efforts all the way to the end!!

One of the two food tables--Tex Mex menu

Senior girlfriends among the first to stop by....of the 75-80 guests by the time the evening was done!

Cutting the cake....another fabulous "Beautiful Cake by Ron"

CONGRATULATIONS, EMMA RUTH! WE'RE ALL SO PROUD OF YOU!

GOOD LUCK AT HOPE COLLEGE, CLASS OF 2012!
