Luke's Graduation

Matt flew me up for a whirlwind visit to see Luke's graduation and try to wrap up some more of the to-do list for his trip to Indonesia. Luke didn't seem very excited before the graduation ceremony. But there were some fun and clever additions by the student speakers, spotlighting everyone who had accomplished something noteworthy - which turned out to be the whole class! And there was a very silly address by a teacher including pages from a Dr. Seuss book. All the staff lined up behind the student seating to give a "gauntlet of hugs" to each of the graduates before the end of the ceremony. Luke got tons of hugs. 
After the event when all the students were hugging and saying good-byes, Luke seemed to be a bit more impressed that this really is a milemarker in his life. Good job, bud!!!


Then we wrapped up the night with a family (and friends) dinner at the Flatbread restaurant in Meridian.
