Saturday morning Claire Elise graduated from High School from St. Francis Central Coast. We all went down to Aptos for the ceremony at 10am. Claire was Valedictorian and gave a great speech... she is off to Boston College next year!

I was a very proud 6th grader 18 years ago when Mimi asked me to be Claire's godmother! What a lucky girl I am to have such a beautiful, talented and smart god-daughter. We are proud of you Claire-bear.

Daddy and his little girl... only 18 years until you'll be at her graduation Dad!
