Graduation Party!


Beau the graduate!
~
Lily enjoyed attending Beau's high school graduation party. It's hard for me to believe that the little cousins I used to babysit are now graduating from high school and attending college. I feel like one of those relatives that pinches cheeks and says, "man, you're getting so big - I remember you when you were just a baby!" But really, I do remember when they were just babies - and it doesn't seem like that long ago!

At the party I brought along a book Beau made me entitled "Mary Lynn's Life Story." What a hoot! He wrote the book when he was in the 5th grade at St. Bart's. He had invited me to attend "Special Person Day" and they had a mass and then a reception at the school. At the party held afterwards in the classroom, each student got to read a section of the book for their special person. He read, "I picked Mary Lynn to be my special person because she does a lot of fun things with my cousins, my brothers, and me." He finished the book by writing a little bit about himself. "Beau was born on January 18, 1991 and is still living today." Too cute!

Happy graduation Beau - good luck next year in college!

To think I used to babysit all these cousins!

I can't believe Sam is holding Lily - she was as little as Lily when I used to watch her! Cousin Sandy with her granddaughter.
