Welcome Summer

I've grilled my first burger, drank my first beer outside and sat at the pool for the first time this year. Summer is officially here

Alex and I attended Jordan’s' graduation from Roncolli High School a few weeks ago. Jordan is Bruce’s oldest and will be attending South Dakota State University in the fall of 2010. Jordan reminds me of Alex is so many ways. Both are determined, engaging, persistent and charming. We started the day with mass at the high school which proved to be an emotional experience. Alex asked me why Bruce was crying and I explained to him that while mom and dad’s are happy for their children and proud of their high school success, it’s emotional when we watch them venture into the world for the first time. Alex predicted that I will probably be attached to his leg bawling when he graduates and I have to say, he’s probably correct

This made me smile -- for so many reasons.

btw ... I'll probably be attached to my little guy's leg, bawling, on the day of his high school graduation too. I was surprised I wasn't attached to his leg the day he entered kindergarten actually... ;-D
