I should really title this blog, "Lucie walks for her CofC graduation," but it would not have the same impact. Lucie actually graduated from college in December, a semester earlier than planned, with two majors Cum Laude. The spring graduation ceremony, with women in white dresses holding flowers, men in white jackets and under the swaying Spanish moss of the College of Charleston Cistern, is pretty spectacular so she wanted to take part. We were thrilled for the excuse to head home for two weeks and were able to include a trip to Richmond to visit the Daubs. Kathleen came down from New York City for the graduation festivities and Barb and I even threw a graduation party for Lucie and Grace so we had a very eventful trip.
We spent time with my brother and sister and their families and even got a special visit from Bucky's sister, Duncan, to help us celebrate. We were able to squeeze in a little time for friends, but it was mostly a family-focused affair. The two weeks whizzed by, but thankfully, we have lots of pictures to reflect on!
 |
| To start of the celebrations, we did a double date to The Alley with Lucie and Clayton. Bowling is always fun! |
 |
| These are some happy people. |
 |
| Grace and Lucie (and the rest of CofC and their alumni) celebrated at the Charleston Affair! |
 |
| Bucky and I celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary with lunch at Chick-Fil-A on our drive up to Richmond to stay with the Daub girls! |
 |
| We got a little bit wild and crazy trying Elizabeth's and Chloe's hover boards. It was fun but we won't be doing it again any time soon. |
 |
| Grandpa Bucky always treats the girls to Oreos for a healthy after school snack and Yucky Charms for a healthy breakfast! |
 |
| They are loving their Oreos! |
 |
| When we got back from Richmond, we had the pleasure of watching Skyler and her theatre group perform in their Broadway musical show!Here she is in Hamilton! |
 |
| Another action shot of Skyler on stage! |
 |
| Kathleen arrived from NYC on the Friday before graduation! I was so happy have my girls together. I took lots of pictures! |
 |
| Lucie walked for her ceremony on Saturday afternoon, but most of her friends walked on Friday. So, she dressed up and did pictures with them and they turned out great! |
 |
| Another shot of the graduate! |
 |
| Can't resist another one! |
 |
| On Saturday, before the ceremony, we picked up Lucie from her apartment and of course took lots of pictures! Lucie was allowed four graduation tickets so Tutu got to join us! |
 |
| Tutu and the girls. |

 |
| The big moment! |
 |
| Loved seeing Lisa as we celebrated our daughters together! |
 |
| We met Clayton after the ceremony so had to get a picture! |
 |
| Bucky, Kathleen and I took a walk on Sullivan's Island on Mother's day morning. |
 |
| That afternoon, we had graduation party for Grace and Lucie! Barb got these cool cookies made! |
 |
