The last of the Nathan girls has graduated college! I cannot believe how fast we're all growing up but we just celebrated Alex's big day out at the lake. She attended Georgia College and State University and will receive a Bachelor of Arts Degree this summer after finishing her senior seminar classes. I drove out to the lake after school on Friday and Kristin and Ryan arrived a few hours afterward. We all ate dinner together and went to bed early! We got up at 6am to get ready and drove to Milledgeville for the graduation ceremony. Thankfully the ceremony was early enough in the morning that it wasn't very hot and we got great seats shaded by a big tree thanks to Alex's friends Lisa and Brooks.
After 1050 names and a quick tour of Alex's apartment we headed back to the lake for a yummy lunch of Publix subs. We spent the rest of the afternoon hanging out on the deck and playing with the 7 dogs that were there!! In addition to my mom's three tiny pups (who were quite terrorized all weekend long) we had Westin and Tessa, cousin Jax, and baby Link (not to be confused with my husband who arrived after winning his ALTA match!). They enjoyed romping around in the "dog park" and eating sticks in the sunshine. I was impressed with how well behaved they were and glad to say that all the puppies got along well!
On Sunday we celebrated Mother's Day with a delicious brunch, opened presents, and then said goodbye to Kris, Ryan, Jax, Aunt Cin, Uncle Greg, and Link. The rest of us took some much needed naps before driving to the marina for an early dinner. It might not have been the fine dining experience we're used to out at the lake, but I'm glad we were able to have one last meal together! My Linc and I went home after dinner and went straight to bed! Sun and fresh air always wear me out. It was a great weekend with fun had by all! Hope everyone had a nice Mother's Day and spent time with someone special!
PS- Yes, that is baby Jax drinking Linc's beer...he's such a bad uncle!
PPS- Yes, I really am that pale...

Sounds fun! And congrats to Linc on his tennis! I hear that you get a little plate. I want one!!! I guess I need lessons. But I am all about the dishes.
I'm not sure I would have said they all got along that well, but I'm sure they had fun! (At least Jax did...she's been so pooped since we got home!) It was great to see you. xoxo
