This is going to be a long post today but I have lots to share – and will share more throughout the week!!!
We arrived back in Canton on Sunday afternoon. Wow! What a wonderful time we had both in Fiji and Ann Arbor, Michigan. To end the Fiji trip in Ann Arbor for Anna’s graduation was just perfect! My heart is full when I think of everything we experienced over the past 1 1/2 weeks. Feeling truly blessed!

Now some graduation photos –
Here is Anna when she was in first grade – she didn’t want to go to first grade – and cried for the first two weeks! We even had to carry her in to class several days! If she made it through the morning at school without any tears, they would let her call me at lunch time to say hello!! And of course at the end of first grade, she loved it so much, she cried because she didn’t want to leave! (don’t you just love those purple glasses!)
And here she is today! A beautiful, confident young lady! She received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Michigan.
Here’s a family photo – love this!! It’s not often anymore that we get all of our family together – and so when we do, it makes my heart soooo happy!!!
Our girls!
Our family is a big Michigan family – my dad, my father-in-law, my niece Katie, my sister-in-law Lane and me, are all graduates.
Here’s a photo of Anna and Grandpa Jack and me – Alumni!
The speaker at graduation was a U of M alumni named Richard Costolo, the founder of twitter! He was a great speaker – very entertaining and gave a great message.
Congrats Anna! So proud of you and so glad you are a Michigan Wolverine!
Thanks for reading this very long post today and letting me share about my family!! More about Fiji in my next post.
