Summer Has Begun

We have made it thru to the last day of school. Jaki is going into the 8th grade, Colin into the 5th, and Rana into the 2nd grade. I'm not sure who was looking more forward to the summer, myself or the kids.

Josh, my nephew is now a High School graduate.

The ceremony was wonderful and the place was jammed packed. They even had to open up more seating so that all family and friends could sit.

Then of course we had to have a party for our Graduate, which we did at our house with family and friends. We had loads of food, swimming and of course lots of fun.

And last but not least, my nephew Justin had his 16th Birthday yesterday, so it's pretty much been party, rest, party, rest. But we have all enjoyed every moment of it.

And here is just one more picture of Miss Ella, that I can't resist sharing. This on the morning after staying the night at
