Pomp and Circumstance

My son, Sean, graduated from Western Illinois University yesterday!  He got a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education.  I know he's going to be a phenomenal teacher!


Congratulations, Sean!  I'm so proud!!

  5. I'm so envious because your mother-son graduation photo looks a lot more Hallmark-y than ours does! It was 45º and windy last Sunday when my son graduated from college--outdoors.

    99% of the moms came dressed for the occasion: parkas, long pants (mine were, um, flannel-lined!) and extremely sensible shoes!

  6. Thanks, Shirley!

    Anne - I wore a really pretty, sleeveless shirt (it was supposed to be almost 70). I left the house at 6 am. and it was cold so I grabbed an old sweater (just for the car ride) I was sure it would be warm enough not to wear it later. Well, it wasn't and I forgot to take it off for the pictures :-(

    Everyone's looking at the graduate in the pictures anyway - right?

    Where did your son attend college?
