Krypto's high school graduation

A great way to start off a graduation week is to get your driver's license...so excited that the COVID-19 restrictions finally lifted...since March of 2020 they hadn't been doing the driving portion of the licensing exam, so Krypto had passed his written and eye exam but had been waiting for his driving test to get his actual license.

Here's our boy...all decked out and ready for his graduation!

Grandma Stamp has been ill and can't drive anymore, so she gave her 2004 Ford Focus to Caleb to drive. What an awesome gift!

Scrapbook table all set up and ready for people to sign.

We also set up a table with the original art work for Krypto's novels. We had a few copies of the books for sale, as well.

The gift table, with the "Granny Spiked My Ripple" afghan that I made for his dorm room this fall.

Food!!!

I had a homeschool friend of mine make these specialty LU cookies. They turned out great!

With Noah, a friend from church.

With Ian, best friends for years in Kyrgyzstan, and now in the US and together again!

With Uncle Tony, the kids' godfather.

Kyrpto speaking outside and also on Zoom since we had so many people who couldn't show up.

More guests.

Indy did the main speaking and then Uncle Chris Clinchard spoke and led the final prayer over Krypto.

Yummy food!

Hanging out in the kitchen and talking.

Mingling and signing scrapbooks and looking at Krypto's books.

Later, the next day, opening gift cards.

So excited about his new LU hat.

The kids went with Tony up to DC and were able to visit the Marine Corps Museum, finally.

And, get some super cook ice cream.

That weekend a lifelong friend had another graduation party since their son and Krypto were graduating at the same time. So thankful that they included us.
