On his way to pick up his DIPLOMA!

Entering the room

He did it!

We just got back in the door from a trip to Joplin, MO. Our reason for going? To attend Nathan's High School graduation! Yes, he did it and we are proud of him. (Look for pictures to be posted as soon as I have time!)

We don't know what his long term plans are yet, and I am not sure that he does either at this point. And that is okay. Congratuations Nathan!

Bubba

I had the chance to go out and visit Nathan (Bubba to Maggie and Jeremy) at the end of Spring Break. He is doing well, and looking forward to graduating High School this May.

Most of you who know us know us know of the challenges that we have had with Nathan over the years. I just want to take this opportunity to say how proud I am of the man that he is becoming. I see a maturity and ability to deal with issues in him that was not there before. Paula and I are both proud of him very much!
