All of you who know me and are use to my sporadic bouts of creative urges, know that I just cannot be counted on for any kind of schedule…And…you know I could NOT let one of my grandkids graduate from 8th grade without pictures….
Taylor Kate Heiser, age 14…graduated from Kaneland Harter Middle School last night…
About 400 graduates filled the gymnasium and about a gazillion parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends attended…IT WAS PACKED! Tay’s Dad, Tim, raced up to get a video of her getting her diploma…With my past record of doing nosedives into the floor, I decided it best if I waited until after the ceremony and took pictures outside, where I couldn’t trip over anything
The only 2 women in the Heiser family…Tim and the boys have their hands full…(Tim was in shock when he realized how beautiful his daughter was getting, all dressed up!)
Yes, Tim literally has his hands FULL!!
I cannot, for the life of me, figure out WHERE they get this silly side
I love this following quote, and think it is sooooo says what I want to instill in all my grands and step grands….
“My wish for you is that you feel the full breath of possibility. That you feel your fears and act anyway. That you listen to what's calling you. That you find the sacred in the ordinary. And that love + kindness embrace your heart always.” - ~ Kelly Rae Roberts

HaHa! She had beautiful eyes and her eyelashes look like spiders are lying on her eyelids...Thanks, but she is much more beautiful than I ever was...(Actually, "beautiful" was never what I was, I was described as unique...."
