Party

I see I didn't write about the party! Graduation was a lot of fun; we spotted our graduate easily in the sea of green mortar boards and robes! The ceremony started a half an hour late and lasted longer, so we didn't have as much prep time as we thought for the party that began at 3:00, but it was great! Everyone pitched in and made it a success! Lena's friends came and had a great time; the food and drink were plentiful and delicious.

Ta da! We are very proud of our daughter!

Teasers

I've noticed a pattern: plan for 2x, get 1x done. Okay, so yesterday we made a dent in the yard, lopping off the lilacs and planting impatiens (there, I finally spelled it correctly). I love lilacs, but trimming these back was the best thing ever. Our backyard is smallish and cutting the bushes back has opened it up tremendously. It will be a great party space :)
Lena is on the home stretch now! Just 2 finals and one presentation, then GRADUATION! We are SO proud of her for her accomplishments! It will be a very happy party on Saturday.
Now, back to work........
