Graduations! by Susan Kinsella

We have lots of Taylor Baker Cousins graduates to celebrate from all levels of schooling! As the Mom of one of the graduates, I am continually amazed at how fast it seems they have all grown up. So I am including baby pictures to remind us, as well as to celebrate how wonderful they have been from their earliest days and how much we love them all.

Congratulations to all our Graduates!

This is so sweet! All our little kiddos...growing up way too fast. So proud of them all, however, for their achievements.
