I generally make it a rule never to post anything in order. So, I will skip most of our vacation until later, and share a little project made by Hailey.
On Friday, we took an 11 hour one-way trip from Milwaukee to Canton. To pass the time, I gave Hailey MY camera and let her use it in the car. SEVEN HUNDRED photos later, we had a pretty extensively documented car trip.
So here's a little slide show of our trip to the new home. As usual, Hailey has very specific ideas for these types of projects. She selected the eighty or so photos to make the cut and chose the music.
And the story will continue soon. . . .

Weekend with family
We had a great graduation weekend with family and was so happy that both our parents and Andrew were able to come out and share it with us.
Had a graduation barbeque with our friends, the Hansons, and went down to the beach. It was cold.
Me, John, and the baby.
We went to Rock Bottom right before the hooding. This was the view from our table: the Milwaukee River with kayakers.
And the Harleys. I'll miss Milwaukee.
We also had a neighborhood barbeque. It was cold. (theme here?)
But had our first dough boys of the year. Yum.
Hailey and Nora loved having both Grandmas around for a little while. And Andrew!
We also went for a hike at Pike Lake and climbed up the observation tower. It was cold.
So glad you could all come out. We miss you!

Post-Graduation Luncheon
After commencement on Sunday, we went to the Dental School luncheon, where the diplomas were actually being presented. This was the fourth official function that we had dragged the girls to in a two day span, and I am pleased to say that the heavens opened out a blessing and the girls were angels.
Here they are at their fancy place-settings eating roasted tomatoes and a feta cheese-topped salad. Angels, I tell you.
Hailey totally approved of the cheesecake. The first time I heard her use the word "delectable."
Nora doing what she has rarely done before, falling asleep in a public place. Unfortunately, she also left a large drool puddle right on the front of my dress, which I sported around the rest of the day.
The Graduates.
The wives. And introducing my fat belly. And Abby, there are the shoes that look like faberge eggs.
And some of the proud kids.
You'll have to read back to completely understand the significance of these last photos. The luncheon was at the Pfister Hotel, which was the same hotel we had Sr. Ball at. Hailey was so excited to finally see the place where we went to the ball, and full circle, was able to finally see the most desirable bathroom.

As promised, more photos of Graduation, which was, like, a month ago almost
John after commencement, almost cleaned up from the silly string.
Family photo. Probably should have done my hair.
Does he really look like a Doctor?!
John and Andrew. Thanks for coming, Andrew! Check out how old you'll look in ten years.
With proud parents.
Girls messing around.
As told by Hailey. . .
Once, me, Hailey, lost a tooth! This was in June. This was Saturday. Which was yesterday. Guess what the tooth fairy left me? It was a dollar!! I didn't see the tooth fairy come last night. That's why you have to go to sleep, so the tooth fairy will come.
This is how it happened:
It started out with me figuring out about the tooth, and then Dad figured out the tooth was loose since it ached so much. And then, just for fun, I bit the string of Dad's pants and whacked the tooth really good, and then that night at Sky's and Macie's (our new neighbors) I ate these crackers and I didn't like them, and then I had gold fish and I realized it wasn't good for my tooth, and then it got really really really loose. And then the other morning it came out! Dad had to pull the floss twice. And the first time it hurt, and I was kind of scared, and then mom came and sat with me by the chair, and then with one cry and scream, and it came out!
And then we went for breakfast to a bakery to celebrate, and we went to the mall to go sit by the fountains, but it was too cold, so we sat inside. I ordered a blueberry muffin and a shortbread cookie. But the cookie dropped on the ground.
I wonder what the tooth fairy does with the teeth. I was thinking that the tooth fairy grinds them up and makes them into salt, but I thought my teeth don't taste salty, and mom thought that was a good point. So then I thought that she probably makes them into soup. Well, that was the story of my loose tooth. Now it's out from the yanking and pulling, and I hope another loose tooth is on the way.
Love, Hailey
