Cristina's High School Graduation

I was a bit nervous about this day, because I was doing Cristina's hair and makeup, Mom's hair, and Raquel's makeup as well as getting myself ready to sing at the graduation banquet (with a sound check that day) and present an award to one of my students at the graduation ceremony!! Now, as if that isn't a busy enough day as it was, throw a two month old baby into the mix that doesn't take a bottle yet, and has been crying a lot due to thrush!!! I could hardly sleep the night before due to panic, but I gave it over to God, and asked family and friends to pray for me as well. Things were a little rushed in the morning with taking time out for Kalia now and then, but we all got ready on time. Jenna babysat Kalia during the banquet upstairs in the church nursery so I could go feed her or check up from time to time, and during the grad I had to go out to feed her once, but luckily we made it back in time for me to get on stage and present! Whew what a day. Kalia was super, but she sure had to crash (and by that I mean a LOT of crying) at the end of the busy day - which means we didn't get around to going to any of the grad parties we were invited too, but that was ok because I was tired too. Cristina looked so beautiful, and won 5 awards as well as a scholarship! We are so proud of her! She had a fun time on her special day. Congratulations Cristina (and Raquel - you looked great too!) I'll post some of the family pictures later on, but I'll have to get them from Mom first.
