When you first have a child, people tell you "Enjoy it, time flies by..." Well, I'm here to tell you they are RIGHT! On June 1st, our oldest daughter Emily Quinlan (middle name is Grandma Pat's maiden name!) graduated from High School. (Right: Emily with Dave's mom and my dad)
It was a beautiful day with 179 graduates in the high school gymnasium where I graduated 26 years ago. Dave's mom and my dad were present along with my sister Jodi (her godmother) and her family. We had a small gathering at our house after, but the BIG party is this Sunday! (Left: Emily with her godparents (my brother & sister)
A good friend of the family made her a sign from the party invitation - as if we didn't already recognize the freakiness of genetics - everyone was amazed at how much Hannah (11) looks like Emily did as a child. She didn't start out that way, but certainly has ended up. Our neighbor asked why we put Hannah's picture on Emily's sign!Since I'd be remiss if I left out my other child - this is what we've been doing when we are not planning senior activities.... Conor has been on a traveling club soccer team - I've seen 3 different beaches along the shores of Lake Erie over the past 4 weeks - about 130 miles apart! (Conor on the right - not the keeper!)
