This girl right here graduates from high school in six days.

She picked up her yard sign this morning, so of course we all trooped outside after dinner this evening (after she'd returned from both work and a mall trip with a friend) to watch her press its legs down into the grass. 

And then we made her take some photos. And because Abby is goofy sometimes, she crawled underneath the sign and said photo was born. Voila.

I still haven't put a lot of thought into the days to come, but I do know one thing: I am so proud of her and all she's done. And I'm proud of the young woman she's becoming. And I'm deeply grateful to God for guiding us in our role as her parents.
