3 Out of 4

This past weekend was super busy for us - starting with a MOPS date night on Friday (check it out here), followed by my brother Dave's graduation from West Chester Saturday morning, and ending with a trip to Avalon with a bunch of our college friends (to be blogged about later). So this post is just about Dave's big day, now leaving only my sister (hence 3 out of 4) left to make the big step out of college into the "real" world. Saturday morning was pretty cool weather-wise and so we were constantly putting our umbrellas up and then taking them back down, but overall everything worked out really smoothly and it turned out to be a great morning! Well done Dave!

Above is a picture of my sister's car that we happened to get behind on Rt 202 completely by chance...and below are Anna and I on the shuttle bus to the stadium.

The stadium packed full of graduates, family, friends, & UMBRELLAS!
My parents and Sam waiting for the processional to end (it took 45 min for them all to walk onto the field).

Anna, me and Mitch with our very fun Aztec umbrella...

Even the band played despite the downpour rain (I took this picture for Caleb)!

We were trying to look sad because of the rain...

Graduating! Dave is the one with khaki pants that is receiving his diploma.

Mitch, me, Dave, Anna & Sam...you're next Anna!

My dad, Dave and my grandpa Holl (my grandma and mom were there too but they were still in the stands during these pictures)

YEAH DAVE!!!!!!
Just think...someday we'll be the proud PARENTS! Crazy thought!

I was just thinking about Dave, because one of the volunteers on our team will do the project with Cru that Dave did last summer...and I was thinking, "wow, he's graduating!!" what's he going to do next?? you can let me know whenever...

Also, loved your beach reunion. Jared has some good buddies from college who get together and now with families, kids, it's super fun. But we missed it and will probably continue to miss it b/c of being so far! It's so fun though! What great memories!!!
