graduation day

Patrick graduated on Saturday. My man has gone and got himself a MA! I'm so glad Tony and Linda were here to help with the kids during the graduation ceremony. And that they were able to see their son celebrate the sum of his hard working studies. Now go get a job honey. No pressure, though (except that we are living month to month paying NY rent for a lame apt).

So much fun was had visiting the Ashworth family in Buffalo. We went to Niagara Falls (definitely worth the drive) and saw the WONDER is less than 30 minutes (we had 6 kids to keep happy)! Christy, Liz and 5 of the kids had SUPER FUN playing at an indoor gym. We ate GOOD FOOD, tried several mediocre dessert places, went shopping (sans kiddies) along with the usual laundry, home projects and dishes.
