Julie's Graduation

Julie graduated from North Stafford High School on June 14, 2008. I still can't believe she is finished with high school!  Jake and Julie have always been the "little ones" in our family, so I have had a hard time adjusting to them growing up.  The ceremony was really nice.  For the first time in the school's history, the graduation was held outside on the football field.  I was worried that it was going to be miserably hot, but it was not too bad.  All in all a great day.  We are really proud of Julie and her accomplishments during her high school years.  She is a beautiful young lady inside and out.  Love you Julie!

Fun in New York

We took a quick side trip to NYC for a couple of days.  It's always fun to take people there who have never been.  We hit all the spots you have to see- Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, top of the Empire State Building, Times Square, too many stores to count, and we even caught a Broadway show (Phantom, Aubrey's favorite).  One of our biggest thrills was shopping on Canal Street in Chinatown and getting our Coach purses and Rolex watches! I have to say, I LOVE New York.

Jake and Julie have been to Ellis Island too many times.  The thrill is gone for them!

So many subway rides.....

We're excited for the show!
