Endings and new beginnings

All good things must come to an end, like vacations and high school. And so it somehow seems appropriate that we ended our vacation by attending a party to mark the end of my niece Jessica's high school years. Congratulations, Jessica, on your graduation!

For AJ and Sydney, going to their cousin's party was as exciting as any of the other places we went on our trip. "Today do we get to go to Jonathon and Jessica's?" had been Sydney's standard question for several days leading up to it.

There are toys and fun people and a piano, all in one place. What's not to love?


I tried to get a picture of the kids with Jessica, but someone got in the way.

Which is totally acceptable when you're this cute:


And sweet:


And adorable:


So, sorry Jessica, you got a little bit upstaged there by your younger cousin, Finn. That happens when you get older. But turning the focus back on you, we're very proud of you and know that you'll do great in college, both on the soccer field and in the classroom.


How can I be so sure? Because you've already overcome the biggest challenge of all. You grew up in this family. And you turned out normal. Way to go!
