Family: Brother gets his BA!!

We had the blessed privilege of sharing in David's graduation celebration, made sweeter by Eric's first post-war family gathering.

We were happy and privileged to share graduation brunch with David's dear friends Nancy and Jim McCabe (siblings, class of 06).

Boo looks like she stepped out of J Crew.

We don't know how David will manage without dear Jim as his trusty roommate. Maybe Eric can give him some pointers, since he and Jim were roommates way back in LIFT, 2001 at Camp-of-the-Woods.

Becca enjoyed her first Wheaton social gathering at a sweet post-graduation BBQ.

Husband especially enjoyed celebrating with new brother and family. We were grateful he could come.

Wow, I'm the first one to comment! Okay, I must admit that I've been in lurker mode for quite some time. It's mainly due to the hecticness that is finals as a Ph.D. student. Anyways, this past weekend was amazing!! It's such a blessing from God to have a wonderful family-in-law. Can't wait until we get another chance to spend time together.

Newest Brother! How does it feel? Are you still riding the commencement rush? It was great to see you again, and I'm hoping the future has some fishing in it for the two of us. If you're really brave, you could always show me how to shoot a gun! Anyways, it was a blast being there, and I'm so blessed by my new family.
