On May 6th, 2011, at 4 p.m. I graduated from my Master of Social Work program! It was a very exciting day that I have been working towards for the past three years. My parents came up, and my brother Nate was even able to attend the ceremony. After the formal ceremony, in which I received my hood, we came back to Genesee and our friend's, the Jarolimek's, joined us for dinner at the Brass Lantern. I can not think of any other way I would have spent the night.
Pictures here include: Hooding ceremony, family photos, and a shot of me and my three best friends from grad school, Katherine, Erin, and Rachael.
About two weeks after graduation I took my licensing exam, and I passed! What a feeling of relief. Henceforth, I shall forever be known as Darci M. Graves, LMSW.

Hadrian's Baby Portraits


The same friend who wanted to take my maternity photos also wanted to take baby pictures of Hadrian. She took them all at our house and did such a wonderful job. Hadrian was exactly 14 days old, and absolutely beautiful.

Easter 2011

This year we had a very low-key Easter, since little baby Hadrian was only about a month old. We spent most of the day napping, and then went out to Grandma and Grandpa Funke's house for dinner. Hadrian got to spend some time with his Godmother, Lacey. Good times were had by all.
