Oksana's graduation

Ack!  Blogger has a new format AGAIN and I'm too tired to figure out how to move pictures around so these are a bit out of order.  We went out to dinner after Oksana's graduation so the first picture is the happy graduate between two of her best friends, Ruby and Alaura.

Every time I look at the mountains they look differently beautiful to me.

 We've had plenty of rain this summer so far, and this momma moose with her twins just set up a beautiful picture in the mist.

This is the result of all the snow this past winter.

Oksana took a short trip to Hawaii for graduation.  Not really.  They came here!

This Goldeneye is pretty shy.  He seems to have found a mate and hangs out on one of the small ponds nearby.

She's looking a little pleased to be graduating!

Oksana graduated through a home school program called IDEA (Interior Distance Education of Alaska).  This was one of a number of graduations held throughout the state.

 All grown up!  How does that happen so quickly?  She is working at Kingdom Air Corps this summer helping feed missionary pilots training there.  Duane King is working hard with her to help her learn Russian.  She would like to study Russian this coming year so she's getting great practice this summer!

 Yes, it's another disorganized blog post!  Hopefully one of these days I'll catch up and get back into a more manageable routine!
