Graduation-Outer Banks!

We have had a wonderful May! Mylee graduated from preschool. Yeah Mylee! Christian graduated from dental school and was accepted into VCU for their pediatric dental residency. His family came out for his graduation and after we headed down to the Outer Banks. Christian and I went there last year with some friends and it was one of our favorite vacations ever. So his family decided to join us this year. We once again loved every minute. We played in the pool, with cousins, hunted crabs, boogie boarded, made a hot tub out of sand and ocean water, and had wonderful food. (Thank you Dave and Kathy for making it possible).

This is Crues new smile as he is learning to walk! He honestly cracks me up.

Kayla and Mylee synchronized swimming in the pool.


Yeah for cousins! It was so fun having the boys there for the girls to play with.


Grandpa and Crue staying warm in the hottub!


On the way home we stopped in a little town called Duck. There is a little pizza shop named "Wave Pizza". He hand makes his pizzas, grows his own herbs. Absolutely wonderful pizza. Later, in the same little shopping center there is store called Duck Doughnuts. You order your doughnut and they make them fresh and hot for your face (as Christian says). I swear I will never eat another doughnut after these. Nothing compares. Anyway, this is on the deck outside of the pizza shop. Perfect ending to a perfect vacation.

Congrats on both graduations! That's quite an accomplishment, Christian. You guys look great - and I can't believe how grown up Crue is (he was just a newborn when we saw him!) I hope you have a GREAT summer!!
