Luke's Graduation

Luke was very touched that so many family members made the trip to Odessa for his graduation. The week before he said several times, "You mean ALL of the cousins are coming?"
Wonderful to be under the same roof playing and visiting.
 Thank you for ALL of your help during the weekend! I am so very grateful to you!
 What a feat - saving 19 seats at Ratliff Stadium!
On the field waiting for Pomp and Circumstance to begin! Pretty neat that both of Luke's grandmothers could join us in front of the stage!
 
Exciting to see Luke head up on to the stage with the other Top Ten students.
Speech time!
Recognized as Valedictorian!

SO GRATEFUL to Mallory for getting these wonderful shots for us throughout the weekend!
Luke leads the graduates in moving their tassels! A surprise to us that he was doing this!
 
Diploma time! 

Sneaking down on to the field for some family photos!







Thank you, again, for everything you did to contribute to this very important time in our lives! Luke will never forget how special you all made him feel.
