Here's a video of Luke crossing the stage... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zr6QxTDav_o
And the still picture captured when they handed him his diploma.
And in a blink, he had graduated! Afterwards, we tried to find several of his friends before everyone dispersed. Here's his friend, Sweetie.
Luke, Collin Baier, and Connor Love entertained me for a recreation of their K5 picture from a field trip I chaperoned...
Our family picture with the graduate, minus the oldest overseas.
Nope, he still wouldn't let me kiss him.
So grateful for his godparents, Bruce & Angela McConnell, as well as his Aunt Lynn for making the trip from Texas to share this moment.
Back at the house, we had his favorite red velvet cake waiting for him all decorated for the special occasion.
He asked for a big check for graduation, so I couldn't resist in getting him exactly what he wanted. I guess that's not exactly what he meant. He did appreciate all the other real checks, cash, and gifts.
He plans to work a bit over the summer and prepare for freshman orientation at USC.
