{Warning: Proud homeschool daddy and momma here with lots of happy tears. Viewing these pictures can be a bit icky to look over as all I have going through my mind is that this is the last time for Mr. Awesome’s “last day of school pictures”. See, I already have tears!}
Such a good looking homeschool graduate.
Forget my flat hair as Ecuadorean weather can’t be predicted and we had rain, but somehow that didn’t matter as we hired a professional photographer and went dashing all over Cuenca for photos.
And of course there is no shortage for beautiful places here to take memorable graduation pictures.
Too, somehow things turn out just like they should be despite all my worrying.
I always say this to you, which is that each kid is different, but somehow I forget my own advice.
Mr. Awesome didn’t want the official cap and gown photo. I had looked all over everywhere here to find one. But I forgot one simple thing, just ask him.
He didn’t want a cap and gown or photo like Mr. Senior 2013 did.
Like the rain that day (unplanned), it somehow fit perfectly with what happened in our homeschool journey as we had a day of reflecting.
Somehow things just turn out better and like they should even when unplanned things happen.
As a mom and especially at such a momentous time as graduation, you want it memorable for your child.
Where one kid may want to celebrate one way, the next kid wants to do certain other things like taking traditional pictures here in South America.
So he embraced the life that we are living right now.
And spent the day savoring the surroundings we do have which are truly unique.
And where Mr. Senior 2013 was a bit more traditional, Mr. Awesome 2015 is not.
As a mom I just embraced it for the day and it was his day.
This dad and grad picture is priceless because it’s one Mr. Awesome wanted.
And yes, he wanted this one too of proud mom and grad.
Despite the rain, bit of cold weather and wet, Mr. Awesome 2015 is just who he is, the sweet baby that didn’t worry about reading or all that academic stuff, but turned out embracing it all in his time.
Finding the right dose of humor and easygoingness was the key to homeschooling this son.
Congratulations Trever, mom loves you and we are all so proud of you!
Hope you enjoyed this special day of family photos and I can’t wait to share pictures of our party!
Hugs and love ya
