Celebrating Family

While posts showing our younger family members are not frequent, the good news is that everyone is doing well. There's been a graduation, a birthday and an engagement, we unfortunately missed being there for these events, but family members sent these pics. 

We hope to visit these grands in the coming months. Grenville and granddaughter celebrate July birthdays.
Both oldest grands spent several days visiting NYC with their father. They posed for these photos with a new "friend" who they left behind in the city.
Daughter No. 1 and boyfriend became engaged on vacation. Coincidentally, it was on the same date as the 25th anniversary of our first date.
At the end of May, youngest granddaughter graduated pre-school and will enter full-day kindergarten in Sept. Yes, how fast the years have gone by.
After a family vacation, she was home and helping with a home renovation project. 
The youngest family member, our great nephew, celebrated his 1st birthday earlier this month. He's quite the charmer according to his mom who sent these pics.
His older sister is our great niece who is 2-1/2 years old. Their mom shared that these youngsters are great playmates and have a lot of fun together. 

Although, we see family members as often as possible during road trips, the youngest ones always seem to be growing up so fast. At the same time, we don't feel we're getting older.

How about you? — Is it the same in your family too; the older we get, the younger as well?

Several folks asked if we enjoyed a donut on Friday, June 3, National Donut Day in the U.S. We did not. But, will celebrate National Ice Cream Day on the third Sunday in July, and it falls on July 17 this year. Readers of this blog already know, we don't need a holiday to enjoy ice cream. Does anyone?

A(nother) Graduation Celebration

Last month was a special month with 2 graduations in our family. We celebrated grandson's kindergarten graduation in RI earlier in June. Then, at the end of the month, we were in NJ to celebrate niece Jamie’s NJ high school graduation. We took road trips for both events. 
Jamie is a lovely and poised young lady who will be attending college in NJ this fall. Her career path is to become a medical assistant.
There were lots of family photos with her dad and grandmother (my brother and mother), myself,  sister Julie, and Uncle Patrick.
