The Graduate

Today was a very special day for all of us; Drew graduated from UQ (University of Queensland) with a Bachelor of Arts majoring in International Relations and Peace & Conflict Studies.

We left home early, made good time to the Uni and even had time to have the official photos taken before the ceremony. Afterwards we took a lot of family shots and then went for a celebratory lunch on Park Road - where, just as we finished lunch, it proceeded to absolutely bucket down with rain. It was a very wet trip home.

It was a very happy day spent with the people I love most in the world. Now I'm lying in bed hoping to stay awake long enough to load some heaps of photos - and the rain is falling so heavily on the roof that  I can actually hear it!

Warning - absolute photo overload - but there are so many lovely ones I can't just choose a few.


























About to be presented.


You can't really tell from this photo but this is the moment Drew received his certificate; it's all happening in the blurry bit to the right of middle!




























A bird flew by; the boys reacted.


































Sibling Love.

















There's always one isn't there?!








And then it poured.
