This is Austin at his preschool graduation in 1996.
Little did he or I know that two months later that same year I would become part of his life.
Now here we are 13 years later in 2009, dad is still able to help him get ready for his Graduation.
We went to Chili's before his graduation. Here is Austin and his grandparents (minus Grandma June and Grandpa Carl).
Austin's support group in the stands waiting for him to come out!
This is Austin's Sergeant who was their supporting Austin and four other recruits he had graduating.
Grandpa Adrian, Grandma Jo and Aunt Tracy
Aunt Toots and Uncle Allan, Cousin Brenna and Anthony
Aunt Tammy and cousin James
These two special people are Austin's youth leaders at church. Kevin and Melanie have been there through ALL the FUN years in high school we had with Austin. They have always supported him and were always there when Austin needed a listening ear. Austin was given a pin to hand out to the person most inspirational in his life and he gave it to Kevin--"Thank you for all your support, love and understanding for our son".
Of course Erica, an amazing friend and girlfriend who kept Austin on the right track (always made sure his homework would get done).
And Steven, these two started kindergarten together and now graduating together. It has been fun watching these two grow up and still remain good friends.
Now for the proud parents!!!!
It has been a crazy journey-- high school--but we made it through several arguments, being hated, yelled at, "you don't know anything about life or being in love", the bad grades, "you just don't understand", the silent treatment--with faith and a whole lot of prayer we made it.
Austin has become such a handsome and strong young man . We are so proud of him! Even though it was a little scary for a while, he pulled it off! We can't wait to see what the future has in store for him and what he will do with it!
WE LOVE YOU!
OUR GRADUATE,
Austin Michael Peyton
