a tradition

The baby of our family graduated from college last weekend. He's going to be spending the summer in Milwaukee with mom and then is packing up and moving to Seattle, WA! Thank goodness for airplanes! I'm excited to visit him out there over the next couple years.

Well, all six of us kids, mom, and one of our in-laws got to be together last weekend in Eau Claire, WI, and we had a blast. Bryan, Meeghan, and Joe got to meet their new nephew Nathanael for the first time and I do believe it was love at first sight for all of them :) We went picture crazy together. Guess that's what happens when we don't get together too often. We definitely acted very silly together and enjoyed one anothers company emmensly. We were sad that Tricia and the kids couldn't be there to make the entire family complete, but they got to hear some of the craziness through phone calls.

So below are three of the pictures from the weekend. Joe and I have a tradition. Every time I have graduated he has put on my cap and gown and we've taken a picture together. Well, it was now my turn to put on his cap and gown. We have alteast two more of these pictures coming over the next couple years...so watch out!



CONGRATULATIONS JOE BUD!!!!!!!
I'm so proud of you!
