Hey there! Where ya been?

Wow!  It's been a while since I posted, my apologies!  How've you been?  Good?

Since I posted last, quite a few things have happened.  (You might have heard about these if you hang out on Facebook.)

Miss M. got bronchitis.  Poor thing!

My parents came to visit for a few days.

The kids finally had their last day of school.

My oldest graduated!

A few other things happened here or there, but those are the highlights.  This week is the "try to work out a reasonable summer schedule week", so we don't all just sit around in our pajamas playing Wii all summer.  Not that we won't do that part of the time, lol, but you know, here and there we really need to get dressed and take advantage of life!

On July 3rd, my sister will arrive to spend a week with me.  She's never been to visit since we moved to NJ, and I'm looking forward to packing a lot of fun into that week.  Mr. B. will be taking the week off as well, so we can really mix it up!  On the plan right now is going to see a Broadway show (not spilling the beans, because she doesn't know which one yet!) a trip to the beach and hitting one of the NYC museums. Oh, and the annual block party will be in full swing the day she gets here!

And since my son graduated on the Summer Solstice, I didn't get to really celebrate, so I will be having my ritual this weekend.  After Samhain, the summer solstice is my favorite holiday, and I plan on having my feast and ritual even though it won't be on the exact day!

For today, I leave you with a few pics from my son's graduation day:



Here are some shots I took of him after the ceremony.

Your son's a good looking young guy -- but when he's mugging, he looks just like Michael Palin of Monty Python! (who's good looking in his own right!)

Your son seems like quite the ham. I have a little guy in my family that is just the same.

Make life a blast; doesn't it.

I love the last photo of your son. The lighting on the wall behind him makes it look a little Harry Potterish. Fab!!

Congrats to your oldest! They grow up so quickly. Was it the tear-streaked affair I'm picturing my experience to be in a few years? Seems like just yesterday he was giggling about Thomas trains. Sigh. Have a blessed belated Solstice!

Your son looks so cute! Congrats for this special day, Kris.

And what a busy end of June you're having, and seems like July won't be different. I hope you enjoy every day with your family, and come back here with lots of stories from your NY trip and the solstice celebration.

Kisses and love fom us.
