Our Second Homeschool Graduate {Part 1}: The Ceremony

The Graduation Day of our Daughter

Ashlyn Nicolle Brough

How do you put into words a day that was 13 years in the making?

A day that at certain points in time I had my doubts we would ever see.
How do you put into words the Grace of God that allowed such a moment?

The accomplishments.

We worked for weeks to craft an event that would express what our hearts could not speak.

Garrett's 12th Birthday Celebration!

During our last week of school, we celebrated our youngest son's 12th birthday!

We were super busy that week and not exactly sure how to make this a 

special day for him.

He wasn't asking for much, but we did want to include

his school friends who had spent everyday of the school year with.

It was decided that we would make our "End-of-the-School Year Party"

a surprise birthday party for him as well.

I brought cupcakes and that turned our pizza party into

a great birthday party!!!

His grandma visiting from Ohio was happy to join us,

so it was a great day for all of us!!

Happy Birthday, Garrett!!
