Ryan graduated from dental school this past Sunday, WOO HOO!! We can't believe how quickly these four years have passed. However, since Ryan is continuing on with his ortho residency, I'm still feeling in school mode, so it kind of feels more like the end of a semester, instead of the end of dental school. We were excited to be able to have so much family come this weekend for Ryan's graduation. Ryan's mom flew out here from ID and his sister and brother drove down from West VA. My parents and bro (freshly returned from his mission) drove down on Sunday as well. We haven't had that much family here at once so it was fun to be able to spend time together.
We had fun showing Ryan's mom some of the local sites. She has not been to the east since when she served her mission in Alabama and Georgia. I think the humidity helped bring back lots of memories.
The morning after Ryan's mom arrived we decided to go strawberry picking. I actually ended up having to feed Tate in the car while Ryan, his mom and Grant went picking, but I think they handled it pretty well. Again, Grant is giving his "cheese" smile. I'm coming to realize that kids don't smile on demand.
After Cheryl and Farel came down made a big breakfast including the fresh strawberries we had picked to go on the waffles. After breakfast, we spent the morning taking in the beautiful flowers at Duke Gardens. Later that evening we drove out to
Maple View Farms and enjoyed some delicious ice cream and the wonderful view while rocking on the front porch. It was a fun day.
