Last Friday we got to celebrate something special. Ernie graduated from USC.....11 Years after his accident. 11 Years ago he was 6 weeks from a USC graduation and instead spent that 6 weeks in a coma. He went from not being able to talk, walk, eat without a feeding tube, breathe without a trach, and constantly being told that his brain injury was to severe that this was his new way of life. Something that none of us wanted to believe but tried to be prepared for. Well, he proved everyone wrong and with such determination he eventually achieved his dream. He graduated. Congrats Ernie. We are so proud of you!
It was a LONG day but the kids held up and we celebrated with drinks and lunch afterwards at the Yardhouse in Shoreline Village. Ann rented a limo to drive us all around and the kids loved it. I on the other hand rode backwards all day and got a little carsick. I was so excited everytime we got out of the car!

The night before the graduation we were able to see Carly and Reese. In this picture she was exactly 1 week from her due date although she looks pretty tiny. She's one of those annoying people who lose weight during pregnancy rather than gain. Sigh...so lucky. Reese was absolutly adorable walking around and giving hugs and kisses to Peyton and Drew. You would think she saw them everyday.
