Today was a good day!

Omar's done! He turned in his final report, took his last final (there's a lot of finality in that sentence) and walked off of campus at Chico State as a student for the final time. The only thing left to do is graduate. I'm so proud of him. This has been a long hard four years, but he persevered and even shined. He's graduating on Friday Magna Cum Laude, which means he was in the top 5% for the whole college (he gets a medal and everything). That's not easy to do in Mechanical Engineering, he's worked really hard. Helaman's excited to watch daddy get a medal (just like Curious George). Way to go honey, I'm really proud of you!

We went to Outback tonight to celebrate. That's been our tradition the day he finishes finals. It doesn't feel real that it is really all done. In my head, he's just on Summer break again.

And while I'm being proud and bragging...

I was playing the The Ladybug Game with Helaman today. You have to collect aphids as part of the game. He already had three, and then he drew a card to get three more. "Oh good, now I have six," says my three-year-old as he adds the numbers in his head. He did it several more times, even figuring out 8+3=11 which I have to think about every time. I think he got his daddy's genius math brain. He can count to 30 with no mistakes, counts to 10 in Spanish and can "read" numbers to 13. He never ceases to amaze me.

Between him and his already getting into everything 7 month old brother I think they are going to keep me on my toes. :)
