Update on some great events!

Brian graduated! The two year program flew by and we are so grateful we made the decision to go ahead with his graduate degree. It wasn't always easy, but every sacrifice we made was so worth it in the end. We are so grateful to have been able to live with Brian's parents during this time to save extra money and pay down our student loans. Brian did really well and worked so hard. He graduated with a masters degree in Choral Conducting from the University of Houston.





This is just because he is so darn cute.


Funny story: we didn't realize that cords were really only for baccalaureate degrees so we went ahead and bought Brian's "honor" cords. Luckily we realized before Brian walked at graduation that it is a bit taboo to wear the cords as a graduate student. Unluckily it was too late to return them so the only time he ended up wearing them was for this picture...but we're thinking it might help make a good wise man or shepherd costume in the future :o).



David turned 18 months old on May 1st. This picture shows how he feels about nursery. We actually took it before church that day but it cracks me up because his attitude didn't prove much as the day went on. He actually does great in nursery if we stay with him but literally seconds after we "sneak out" he really puts on a show. Poor kid.



Stay tuned for pictures of the Aquarium in downtown Houston and shots of Brian's trip to France!
