Graduation

Kendall has officially graduated from MAHE (Master of Arts in Higher Education and Student Development)!  Dan and Lisa came out Thursday night and we've been having lots of fun celebrating with them. Friday night was the big night for Kendall, when his cohort had their hooding ceremony. It was a special time to reflect on all that we have experienced over the past two years.

Kendall received his hood from Tim Herrmann (left), who is the MAHE chair, and Skip Trudeau, who is Taylor's Dean of Students and a professor in MAHE, as well as Kendall's thesis supervisor.

Mady didn't join us for the hooding. We figured she would have more fun playing with Ollie and Ryan instead. I think we were right!

We skipped the actual graduation ceremony, but we still had to get some pictures with Daddy in his robe. We are proud of him!

We celebrated this afternoon with a picnic at Fairlane with some of our MAHE friends and their families. A fun way to wrap up the year!

We can't believe how quickly these two years have gone by. They have been such a blessing to us and we are sad to see them come to a close! But at the same time we are excited to move forward and experience what God has in store for us next.
