Many Celebrations

We had a DeCarlo family gathering last weekend to celebrate.  Every time our family gets together it feels like it marks another major change.  Two more are going off to college and moving away from family.  Another is ending the working phase of his life and retiring.  And another family is moving to Austin and beginning life without children at home.  It has been quite a while since we have been able to get together and it was a really nice evening.  Both kids filled up on barbecue and cake.  Justin and Travis charmed all the adults and got a present of a play tent, just because.  We had a great visit with everyone and we were sad to have it all end.  It will probably be a while before we are all together again.

We were able to get one picture with the graduates (the two beautiful girls to my left!)  It was funny being lumped in with the "kids" for a picture!
