So I get the crappy picture award...but that was the only thing crappy about tonight.  I was emotionally unprepared, but at the pinning ceremony this evening, the capstone was placed on years of stress and struggle.  It's officially over...or to be cliche...just beginning.

In a strange compilation of "congratulations" and "graduation" Axel couldn't wait to tell Jahred "Happy Gradulations" as he returned to his seat.  Our small little family spent most of the ceremony reading Axels "book of the day," "Mice are Nice," but just because we weren't listening doesn't mean we weren't grateful.  Before Axel was even brought breech into this world, Jahred started his Nursing School journey and as Axel approaches three, there is relief in accomplishment, and ultimately relief in finishing what was a struggle to even begin.

Tonight we rest...happy campers.
