CHEO

Some pictures of my sisters graduation at CHEO.

My niece Rachel and I. I was taking care of her during the ceremony

.

About 1/3 of the way through the commencement, Rachel conked out and slept through the entire thing!

My oldest brother, Greg, and his wife Bethany ( Bethany took these pictures... I swiped them off of facebook;p)

Audrey and Brady, my niece and nephew.

The CHEO graduating class of 2010

my parents giving Christina her diploma.

Bethany's sister Eliza graduated this year as well.

The new graduate

And Eliza and Christina after the ceremony, Congrats girls!

After the graduation, my whole family (except for two of my brothers) and their children went out to eat at Cracker Barrel, wherein I discovered I love fried okra. And so does Brady. He ate half of my serving:)

Usually we have to drive a couple hours to the building where CHEO is held every year, but not this year. It is our tradition that after CHEO, whoever is the newly graduated one in the family, gets to choose where we eat. I believe the last to trips both choices were Cracker Barrel ( mine was in 2008, and I had chosen Cracker Barrel as well:-) )

Be blessed!

Summer.

Just some pictures taken over the summer.

My niece gets her first taste of watermelon. She LOVED it!

What I see every time I look out our kitchen window.

Wellies. I love these boots. I was working in the bean field this morning, so mine are the really dusty looking ones!!

And this is what I've been reading (for the third time) as I waited for these pictures to load.
