Ave's Grad Party

My, how time flies! My youngest niece graduated from high school this year, so they had a grad party for her. Diana wasn't able to go, so Ledge and I stopped by to celebrate with her. 
It was fun to see all the uncles and aunts at the party. Some of them I hadn't seen in what feels like years! It's always a joy to see Aunt Marlene, Aunt Carol, and all the rest. Fortunately, the weather was good, last time they had one of these it was raining!
We congratulated Aves on the end of her high school trek and encouraged her as she is about to start cosmetology school in the fall.

Last Day of 7th

It's finally the end of Ledger's school year. He was pumped to finally put his 7th grade year behind him. Not that anything was bad about it, he's just really looking forward to summer break! As has become his little tradition, Ledger picked out his 'Is It Christmas Yet?' Snoopy shirt for his last day. He got a lot of funny looks and laughs wearing it last year, so he figured he'd go back to that well...
On the last day, his school had their achievement awards for the kids. Diana and I came to watch the ceremony and cheer him on has he was awarded the highest academic achievement award they have- way to go, Ledge! Afterwards, Diana went in to her work and I headed home for a quick nap.
Also, a part of our tradition is that I go pick him up from school on his last day and walk home with him. Since Diana started working at the elementary school, our walk home includes a stop at her school and saying hi.
When we got home, we both realized that we were pretty hungry, so we went out to eat as a celebration of the end of the year and start of summer- finally!

South Bend It

 Mom and David had some guests over for Memorial weekend. David's sister was visiting, and we hadn't seen her since our last visit to Disney, so we packed up and headed down to join in on the fun!
We caught up with Mary and got to hear all about her crazy life and hilarious stories, had some delicious Chinese food together, and went to visit Diana's dad as well. Overall, nothing remarkable, just spending time with loved ones and having a good time.
