Joel's Graduation

My little brother Joel...sorry, let's be honest... my not so little brother graduated from high school this past June. We couldn't have been more proud of him! He got the top marks award for the school and also raked in some other math and chemistry awards. I'm a little partial I know, but this kid is a genius! And yes...I retain bragging rights! :)

(Below) This is the face for: "I just got five awards and I'm so excited to see how much money is inside so I can come to Korea to visit my big sister!" It was surprisingly disappointing considering the prestige of all the awards! I think Blake was the most disappointed of all. He remarked with disgust, "It doesn't pay to be smart!"

(Below) This is Joel and his good friend Etienne. They are ever so excited and feel they are ready and mature for the adventure and challenge of post-secondary!

(Below) A sweet one of Joel and Blake. It is such a rare find to come across a photo where they're standing beside each other smiling. Normally they're on the floor wrestling and punching and calling it some form of male bonding.

(Below) Dad didn't get the memo about this camera :)

(Below) "Big brother" Tim sharing in the excitement.

haha, great to see the photos of the family and meet them (kind of) over Skype. Your dad has got that cool 'mysteriously-staring-off-into-the-distance-during-photos' thing down pat! Excellent! And congratulations to Joel! May you glorify God with the talents He gave you!
Blessings on you all in Jesus~
