Milestones

Ally in France

I haven't written recently because we've all been so busy seeing Ally off to France and  getting ready for Kate's graduation.  Ally arrived safely in Paris with her college group and is now installed in an apartment in Strasbourg where they are apparently walking her to death seeing the sights.  She's supposed to be reading Moliere's Tartuffe tonight. 

Kate's graduation was a wonderful event.  I drove down to Lexington on Thursday and picked up Dad and my friend Linda so they could celebrate with us.  The weather looked really chancy for the baccalaureate on Thursday night, but the rain held off and the girls' dresses weren't ruined.

We are so proud of Kate.  She not only received awards for National Honor Society and high grades and high SAT scores, but she also received a special service award that was only awarded to four students who demonstrated extraordinary service to the school.  


So, here's the photo album from the graduation.  If you want to see even MORE pictures, go to my Flickr account.
