This post marks two very important events, so here goes...
In mid-May, my cousin and her family came to stay a few days with us to celebrate the completion of her daughter's Master's degree in counseling.
It's amazing to think that just two years ago, we met this young lady for the first time and instantly formed a bond with this family. Even though we are blood relatives, our paths had never really crossed before now.
Now we were celebrating the end of her studies, and praying that the Lord would guide her in the next step of her journey.
We did not attend the graduation ceremony, but were invited to the "hooding" ceremony and dinner.
It was so fun to watch this mother and daughter interaction! They really are close and love spending time together.
It was wonderful to see the whole family celebrating together.
Sister and brother
One proud dad...one proud grad!!!
The end of May, we also celebrated Jim's birthday. We were so happy to have our grandsons with us for this special event!
They brought along their bikes so they could ride in our "big driveway." (Of course, daddy had to get in on the action also!)
Little brother was very cautious...
...big brother was very daring...
...daring in every way!
Even Grandpa got in on the action!
Then came time for decorating the birthday cake, Grandpa's favorite--German chocolate.
Little boys asked how many candles we should put on the cake...we decided that we needed ALOT of candles, at least two full boxes-one for each boy!
"Happy Birthday to you..."
Because there were so many candles to blow out, Grandpa had to have help blowing!
The best part of the party..."I clean off candles!" Happy Birthday Jim, and many more to come!
