A North Carolina Graduation

See, I told you we were crazy.  After I flew with the kids to Cleveland for a couple of days, we drove with my mom to Fayetteville for my nephew's graduation from highschool.  The kids were fantabulous in the car, thanks to these wonderful inventions called the portable DVD player and McDonald Playplaces.  Phil met up with us in Fayetteville and took us home after a couple of days.

As usual, the Sattelmeyer and Jean cousins enjoyed spending time with each other.

We're so proud of you, Jon!

Jon graduated in the top 10% of his class.

Athena lost her first tooth during Jon's graduation.  I know Susie's heart was hurting that day...everyone is getting all growed up!!!!

Kayla is a rockstar....

Rub a dub dub, there are way too many blood-related children in this tub.

Uncle David entertaining the troops.

Look at that smile.  This girl was immediately smitten with her uncle and did not leave his side.  It was really strange; there was a real connecting presence between these two.  Their connection was very palpable and noticed by all of us.  I have never seen that before, it was really cool.

 The chair is getting more crowded.

Look who has Uncle David wrapped around her little finger....sucka.

 It doesn't take much to entertain these two.
