The Last Child part ii



No sooner did the music fade from prom before we found ourselves standing to Pomp and Circumstance...

The time between prom and graduation slipped by faster than the days in between!  But invitations were completed on time with the help of lots of coffee...















The sign was delivered...







 



 
Before we knew it, it was Baccaleaureate time...







 

 


 






 After lots of good words and great music, it was over...

 




 







 














 

 











































...And the big day arrived...!




 

 
We were honored that Mom, Bert, Jessica and the girls came to celebrate with us.




 


 















Sooo....Rebeka finished her high school career with an Honors degree graduating 64 out of 464 students (considering 95% of her classes were AP or IB, i think that's an exceptional feat!); and like all the other seniors, she spent the week before and the week afterward party hopping; then she hopped on a plane for a her first week-long mission trip to Jamaica.

Two months later, our home has been filled with lots of activity as everyone tries to squeeze in time with each other before going their separate ways to pursue their future journeys, whether it be college, work, or in my Rebeka's case, a "gap year" with YWAM in New Zealand. Rebeka's summer has been spent working and seeing as many people as she possibly can fit into a 24-hour day.

Soaking up every minute that we can with the knowledge that this season of our life is quickly closing in on us, I am filled to overflowing!
