Graduation

Well, I am officially graduated! It has been such a great week. We sure enjoyed having my family stay with us this past week and getting a chance to play. It meant a lot to me that they would come all the way from St.Louis to be with me at graduation. I appreciate all the support family and friends have given me. I want to thank all those who were able to attend the graduation and lunch. It was such a lovely and memorable day.(Mark, Raeann, Jon, Rachel, Morgan and the rest of my family, Dad, Mom, Ben and Britney and of course, Gordon and Alexander)

With family visiting, finishing finals, Gordon working and all the activities, we were all exhausted by Saturday afternoon. Here is a picture of my two men sleeping downstairs. They are so handsome!

Alexander Updates

Alexander's personality just keeps shining through more and more each day. He is a teaser and laughs a lot. He loves to give "raspberry" kisses and giggles when he does so. His four top teeth are coming in so he has been a bit on the grumpy side, although he was pretty good today at church. Tonight at dinner time Alexander mimicked an expression I do when he squeals at the dinner table. I squint my eyes closed and smile real big while doing a bashful motion with my head and say "ooh, my sweet baby." Well, tonight Gordon looked at him at the dinner table and was kind of teasing him when Alexander gave him the "bashful squinty eye smiles/look." I died laughing. I never thought he'd pick that up!

Alexander is also doing well learning how to open and close cabinets, turn pages of books and climb in,out,up and over objects. He loves blanket tunnels, boxes and empty cabinets.
