Baby E

Okay well the video hates me, I can load it or email it or anything. So grandpa O'Rear has it on disk to show you guys. For the Gerdes side I will mail you a copy.

Here are pics of baby E. First snow and sledding and all that stuff. Fun times.

Grandpa and me before our first venture

Oh yeah baby we sledding!

This is my christmas dress. Dont I look too cute.

I was a bunny for my grandpa runyon's church christmas pageant.

THEY WONT LET ME OUT!!!!! So what you in for?

Here is some of the snow. This is after it was cleaned off the first time. Then it snowed more.

The birds are freaking out about the fresh food we put out. The men were the first to come running. Imagine that. :D

From all of us to all of you.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Graduation and the surprises that came along with it

This is the multi where grad is held

This is all the professors that have to do graduation. With the snow storm they looked just as happy to be there as everybody else. We got 10 inches of snow yesterday, in the beginning of the day it was a mix of sleet and snow. It turned to just snow during graduation.

This is when we were standing before al the wonderful speeches. :D

This is after I walked across the stage and it is official. I am graduated! Hello world.

This is the whole family. from left to right- Edith, Grnadpa Orear, Grandma Orear, Jake, Me, Steve and Baby E, Toni and Dale.
And then the surprise.......

My parents gave me a lap top! I about died as you can see in the video. It is slick. I am using it right now to type this. My dad got wireless in the house so that when I am here I can use it to do whatever. He told me not to be in it all the time. Uh huh. Who used it mostly last night. Oh that was my dad. :D He likes it too. Ha ha.

Like the surprise at the end. Baby E started walking. She is practically walking now! It is crazy. Enjoy.

I am going to send thank you 's to everyone but I really want to say how much I appreciate everyone's support throughtout my college career. It relaly means a lot to have the backing of my family and friends. And thank you to everyone that gave me presents and money fro graduation you have no idea how much I appreciate it and how much it meant to me to see your kind words of support.

The next blog will be of Baby E and the snow
