Hurray for Jonathan!!!

Such a happy family! We were able to attend Jonathan's graduation ceremony from the University of Phoenix in Glendale last Saturday. He has earned his Bachelor of Science in Finance degree. We are so happy for his dedication in working towards this goal while working full-time. We are sure it will bless him and his family immensly! Melina has been such a great support, keeping their home a haven. And Raylin has provided many moments of comic relief! Hurray for all of you!!!
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere is Jonathan?
He really is in this photo. Let us know where YOU think he is! (Hint: look for someone tall, and standing, and almost at the end of the line.) Melina is the one who found him, of course!

The happy throng in the stadium await the grand moment!
Bill is in front, and from left to right in back are Dave (Jonathan's brother), Raylin, Jody (Dave's wife), Melina, Jonathan's mom Becky, Lucy (Dave & Jody's daughter). (Jonathan's Dad, two of his sisters, and another brother were also there, but somehow didn't get into these photos.)

Diane and Raylin while away the waiting time comparing bracelets. Raylin kept saying, "Yea, yay, yay!" When they read her Daddy's name, all of a sudden she was quiet for quite a while.

"I Love my Daddy" says Raylin's bib. "Yup," says Bill. "We love you."

Diane says "Good for you, Jonathan!" And we all say "Hurray!"
