Too magnificent not to share

It's finally over...Jehkiah is now officially a nuclear medicine tech! All the struggle and study has paid off. John, Jayden and I drove down for the graduation on June 13th and spent a fun weekend with Jehkiah. (I need to add that a week before, someone from our area called and asked if we could rescue a black bird (nestling) they found in their yard. After the wind storm we had, they couldn't find the nest, so we drove out and picked him up. We called him Morgan. He was very fragile and I had to take him to school with me so I could feed him regularly and keep an eye on him. That caused quite a bit of attention when Morgan would start hollering for me from inside the little basket. My teachers were patient, though. He was growing quickly and making lots of fun noises. But, we noticed he did have trouble digesting. You can see by the photo's how he loved riding on the dashboard.) We love hoteling it so we stayed in a hotel in Klamath Friday and Saturday. After graduation, we went to his friends house for a barbecue then Jehkiah took us on a tour of the city. We fell in love with the area. Sunday, we found little Morgan had died while we were out having breakfast. We were very sad. After church we did more sightseeing and took a drive up to the Lake of the Woods to bury our bird, and then onto Paul and Suzanne's for the night. Paul is Jehkiah's former Branch president (now Stake Pres.) and we had a blast. Suzanne let Jayden take her horse for a walk and then we just kicked back to visit. It was a warm, memorable day. On the way home, we stopped and viewed a fun historical site....so like John. Stretches the fun to the very last minute.
