Applications...

With school being all done, we can now focus on getting these two a job! They completed their first job application today. It is for Brand New Engines, but I think we are going to meet with their vocational counselor to inquire about more options. Ben and Conner qualify for job coaching and hopefully that will be a good service for them and will help them get their first job!

 

New Desks!

We got the boys new desks and gaming chairs for their graduation. We got everything put together and the guys are quite happy with the improved gaming space!

 

Novak Walk!

The guys had one more reason to wear their caps and gowns today. Their elementary school was hosting a walk for the graduates who attended each school. It was so much fun going back to Novak and seeing all their friends who attended there and have now graduated!

 

Oh, The Places You'll Go!

We used the Dr. Seuss book "Oh, The Places You'll Go!" for guest books at the graduation party. The boys had fun today looking through the books and reading messages from everyone who attended the party! I bought these books when the kids went to preschool 15 years ago! I kept them in my closet waiting for the right time to give them to Ben and Conner. I think we found the perfect time!

 

Graduates!

Conner and Ben are officially high school graduates! Congratulations to you both for working so hard and accomplishing this huge goal! Mom and Dad are so proud of you both! We love you so much!

 

Graduation Ceremony!

Time to watch our sons graduate! The boys take the stage around 1:14 on the video!

Ready to Graduate!

Today is the day! Graduation Day!!! It felt very surreal to be getting ready to go watch our boys walk across that stage and end this journey. Ben was ready to get it done and Conner was very nervous, but he made it! We all got ready to go, took a few pictures at the high school and then headed downtown for the ceremony at the Alliant Powerhouse!
