Matthew's Graduation June 2009

On the last day of school this year I hopped on a plane with two of my brothers to Minneapolis. We stayed in Elk River, MN, on Friday night so that my brother Steve could see a friend of his from high school. We ate dinner with them and then made it to the hotel. I was exhausted from all the activity that day and was asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

Saturday morning we drove to Duluth for the graduation party. We were about 2 1/2 hours in the car and made it there uneventfully. Thank goodness :) Here are some pics from the party and then we all went to dinner that evening. It was great to see everyone.

I think that the best part of the trip was spending time with my brothers. It usually never happens without spouses or kids and it was a great time. We all fought like siblings the whole trip, but we had a lot of trips down memory lane and a lot of laughs too.

Sweet Grace

I just have to take a minute to brag on my precious little girl. She is at the age right now where a lot of her friends are starting to form little groups and I've seen how Grace handles herself in these situations - a definite perk of being at school with her. For example, one of her little friends came up to her yesterday and said,
"X is coming to MY house after school today," to which Grace replied,
"You really shouldn't talk about people coming to your house when not everyone is invited. That's how people's feelings get hurt." GO GRACE!!! Then the little girl said, "Well, I don't really care what you think...and a bunch of other stuff" GRRR... Girls and their petty little digs. I can't believe that it starts so young, but I'm so proud of Grace for telling her like it is. I told Grace that she should have just turned to her and said, "that's great. I sure hope that you guys have fun." and walk away. I know that it's a lot easier said than done, but good grief. I have a feeling that we've got a long road ahead of us with girl drama and I'm so thankful that I have a sweet one :)
