6/3 Celebrating

Today was another day of celebrating - 
.
Graduates

Alison is headed to Argentina

Newborns 

William Macqueen Brooks
9 lbs 14 oz. 22 in.
Check out the size of those hands! 

Absolutely love everyone in this picture
(and I want a big porch like this someday)

Jeremy and Lauren headed to Chicago to Teach for America
(you can't really tell, but that is a grilled oyster in his hand - they were delectable)

Most, but not all celebrations are happy, yet they are needed and necessary.
How do you feel when you say hello for the first time and good-bye for the last time?
