A busy month...

We have had quite a busy month of June. Our great friends, Ginnie and Noel had a going away party for us June 4. It was great. We had about 50+ people there including kids. It was a beautiful day and we couldn't have asked for better company!
My parents came the second week of June to visit and help with the kids so I could pack. Garrett was able to go to VBS for the first time with Charlie and was so excited he got to go to school every day like his sister. Caroline had her last week of school while my parents were here as well.
Then, a few days after my parents left, Patrick's parents came for his graduation. Kathleen was able to come too for a few days. We were busy with graduation and parties. It was a great time.
Now, we are getting down to our last few weeks here in Minnesota. It's a bittersweet feeling. Caroline is not looking forward to leaving her friends, and either am I. We are not going to miss the MN winters, but, we are going to really miss the great friends we have made while we were here!
