The Real Reason for the Weekend

This is the real reason we all trekked to New Hampshire ... to see our Kristin Joy graduate from high school. Seems like just yesterday she was a little thing hopping in the blow up hamburger at Burger King (you do NOT want to know what happened when the thing deflated with her inside!), or visiting us at Mom and Dad's ... good grief could she get up early! or pushing me out of the way so she could see her new cousin Torrey, or coming to visit (first Florida and then Texas) ... now here she is done with one chapter in her life and starting a new one. College in the fall ... actually a whole new book! Kris, we are so proud of you! Of the amazing woman you are becoming. For the goals you have set and accomplished. For the joy you bring to those who know and love you. For your gentle way with your little cousins who adore you. For the compassion and kindness that you show to Amanda. For the help you are to your parents. For you ability to keep us all in line. Go forward Grasshopper ... you are ready!

PS ... this picture sums it all up. It will make me laugh for a long time!
