We had a great time this weekend spending time with family and friends who were in town for all the graduation festivities. My parents, George's parents, Erik, Tyler and Liam came up from Lawton and we had a blast! We kicked things off with the commencement ceremonies on Friday night. It felt really good to walk across the stage and close this chapter in our lives. Each day, I wake up thinking, "What homework do I have to work on today?" It still hasn't quite sunk in that I'm done! Below are a few pictures of the celebration.

As you can probably tell, we had a great time celebrating. Graduation was made even more memorable because of a special guest that graduated from my college. When we went to line up before the processional, Garth Brooks was there! He graduating with his MBA as well. How cool!

On Saturday, we took the boys out to go fishing and ride in the canoe. Papa (Dad) and George took them to Walmart to get bait and got a head start on the fishing. By the time Mom and I got out there, Tyler and Liam had each caught one fish! They were very excited and had a great time. Uncle Georgie took them out on the canoe and they got to look at turtles and fish some more. It was really neat to see them cast their own lines and reel in the fish they caught. They are expert fishermen already!

We hope each of you had a wonderful Mother's Day Weekend. George surprised me this morning with a beautiful card and a nice warm drink in bed. We were sad that we weren't able to go to Lawton this weekend to spend time with our mothers today but were glad we got to see them on Friday/Saturday. George and I are so thankful to have Godly mothers who love us and care for us everyday. We appreciate all the love, support and guidance they have given us over the years and hope that we can be great parents like they are!
Baby Horton is doing really good and seems to be making extra room for herself by pressing out against my belly today. She has been quite active and is stretching and moving all the time. We have our check-up with Dr. Henry tomorrow afternoon and our second session of childbirth classes on Tuesday. The weeks are flying by and we can't wait to meet our sweet baby girl. I can really tell she's growing - we can't believe she will be here soon! According to Babycenter, she weighs about 3.5 lbs and is over 16.5 inches long now. This past week we read her a farm animals book and it was a lot of fun. We will have her first baby shower on Wednesday for George's school. We look forward to sharing the excitement with the teachers he works with.
We will update soon with info from our check-up. Have a great week!
George & Megan
