Today my son Cory is graduating from High School. He did it! And as a homeschooling mom … I did it!
Congratulations Cory. We love you!!!

Congratulations, Cory & Tricia! Love the photos!
Ah… Wonderful! Congratulations.
SOOOOOOOOOOO many Congrats to you and CORY!!
I love the word commencement because this is just the beginning. Congratulations to all of you.
Congratulations to you both! Isn’t it an awesome feeling when your first one graduates & you were the teacher that guided him? I was blessed to have that awesome feeling 4 times!
congratulations to Cory and I know how proud you must be of him!
🙂
Congratulations to him and kudos to you! Love the pictures and the quotes! (Especially the one “If at first you don’t succeed, do it like your mother told you.” LOL!!)
My son graduated last year and it is such a wonderful and bittersweet time! Best of luck to your son. Congratulations to you and Cory!

Congrats to you both, a job well done!!!
Congratulations! Wow, done with your first homeschooled student. Does it feel good? I just hope I can get there!
Hi, Tricia! This is my first visit to your blog, and I must say your family is so precious and BEAUTIFUL!
Congratulations on your son’s graduation, “Mom”. You played a huge part! You deserve to be so proud of his and your accomplishments. What a job.
Hugs and bounteous blessings!
Hugs,
Shar
Congratulations! What a handsome young man. I take it the others are yours? Beautiful kids.
These are bitter sweet moments to be treasured.
Blessings to you,
Bonnie
Okay Tricia, I’ll stop lurking and start … There must be something that makes sense to rhyme with “lurking.” Anyway: Cory, I always knew you had it in ya. I hope all those family photos didn’t embarrass you. At least your Mom didn’t publish the dreaded, “bum-on-the-rug” picture. Be thankful for what doesn’t happen, as well as that which does.

Congrats! I’ll have a senior next year so hard to believe.
My daughter homeschools her four children, and the oldest, Caeli, just graduated this May! Perhaps I can introduce her to your son! ; )
Congratulations to Cory (and to you, Tricia, for teaching him) – if a picture paints a thousand words, then your blog is telling all of us so much about what a great job you’ve done – he looks like a fine young man!
