MN Finale

This is nothing more than to post a few added pics. of our last day in MN, starting with a graduation open house for our sweet Emily. ;) She would be the daughter of our dear cousin Wendy whom Jesus called home 6 years ago after her battle with Breast Cancer. He simply decided it was time for her to leave us and be with Him....and I'm sure she is lovin' every moment of Heaven! And I can guarantee that she is so very proud of her Emmy. Even though it wasn't necessarily spoken on that open house day, many were thinking it...how proud Wendy would have been (and is) and how beautiful her daughter looked. We love ya Em!!! :)

Beautiful Emily!

 After Em's party was a 15-year (Gulp!) class reunion for my high school....and I have no idea how in the world it's been 15 years already!! We were a small (ok, very small) crew that got together for an evening, but still fun nonetheless.

My Lain!!!! :) (ok, Elaine) love this gal!

 From there, the goodbyes began....'nuf said.

 So there you have it--the last round of MN photos...whew! That was a lot! Now on to more pictures capturing our fleeting summer time moments as we attempt to take full advantage of each one, all before (dare I say it...) school begins!
