Master Lisa!

It's official!! Lisa is now a Master.......Graduate that is. We went to her graduation ceremony this morning and then to lunch to celebrate. She has worked so hard for the past couple years to get this degree and we are all so proud of her and all her hard work. She is now Lisa Mann, B.A., M.A. She thought that the ceremony was only going to take about an hour, but they spent a lot of time on the undergrads so it ended up taking quite a bit longer than that. We were a little frustrated that they gave biographies of the honor students in the undergrad program and then spent a lot of time with the Ph.D. graduates, but seemed to sweep the Masters graduates right off the stage. She was also in the honors program and graduated with a 4.0! That is an accomplishment that they failed to recognize her for. But no matter what, Lisa, to us you will always be the smartest, most beautiful, kindest sister and friend we could ask for. Congratulations! We love you!

Lisa walking in with the other graduates. The lighting was terrible so the pictures we got are not that great but you can still see her which is all that matters.


Walking up to get her degree!


YAY! Time to go celebrate.


Lisa, Brandon and Isabella.


The proud parents


So excited for her.


Our little family.


Gregory still loving the carrier. If you notice from the pictures of the baby shower with Lydia in the carrier and this picture, you can tell that she has grown. Her head now sticks out of the carrier where it didn't a week ago.


Can you tell the difference? I can't believe how much they grow and so fast! This is only a week prior.



Oh, and just so everyone knows, we went in our van with Gregory's parents and Krystal and were all very comfortable. Then after the graduation, Lisa got separated from Brandon and ended up coming with us because no one knew where he was parked. Well it started to rain HARD just as we got to the car and we were still able to fit us all pretty comfortably. If we had taken a regular car, we all wouldn't have fit! Thank goodness for a mini van.
