Aunt Kate Graduates (Finally!)

To quote one of my all time favorite movies - "A lot of people go to college for 7 years . . . yeah, they're called doctors"! (As a side note, I'd love to be able to take credit for applying this line to Katelyn's collegiate career, but I must give credit where credit is due - thanks, Jay!)

After 7 LONG years, Katelyn has finally graduated from college with a Bachelors in Early Elementary Education. . . now she just has to find a job!

We all gathered together at Grandma's for a party on Saturday to mark the occassion. Nothing beats getting together with family and friends and having a reason to celebrate. The weather was beautiful (though a bit chilly with the wind) and we were all able to hang outside, catch up, play some ball and enjoy being together.

The rest of our weekend was really busy and we'll be blogging about that later in the week after I've had a chance to proof and process the pictures - so be sure to check back in a day or two!

Shane has been refusing to wear any shoes except for his sneakers lately. By the end of a day spent running around outside without shoes, this is what we were left with!
