ERIC'S GRADUATION DAY

Julie is waving and Eric is right behind her...they just got their diplomas

Eric and Julie after the graduation...don't they look happy? I know WE were!

Eric shakes hands with THE GODFATHER.....I hope he knows what he is doing getting into bed with the mob!

here is THE MOB..... Seriously, thank you godparents for being with us on this special day. On days like this Joe and I miss our own parents very much. We know how proud they would be of their grandson, but he is blessed with wonderful, caring, loving and supportive Godparents for which we all are grateful.

After the graduation we headed to Eric for a cook out. Julie's dad handled the grilling to perfection. He grilled steaks, chicken, tuna and swordfish, and all were excellent. We mom's provided the side dishes, and we all ate WELL> Eric and Julie proudly display the cake Julie's sister made for the graduates!!!! It was a delicious white cake with a raspberry cheesecake filling....to die for!!! It was great meeting Julie's family too. I snatched up little 4 mos. Sophie IMMEDIATELY....what a doll baby. Her sister also has a 4yo, Hannah and a 2 yo Becca....Adorable. Her sister in DC is in the process of moving to Wyoming, and couldn't come. Her parents are great...just as down to earth as Julie.

What a wonderful beautiful day for a graduation. We are bone tired, sunburned (Eric's sunburn is hysterical due the the funny hat he was wearing all day-If you look real hard you can see it in the last picture) and we just could not be happier parents tonight. Our ONLY regret today is that OUR own Godson, Nate also graduated today in Charleston and we could not be with him. We did enjoy talking to you Nate and we really are very VERY proud of you today too.
