Our week has been great

Well, he did it! After 3 years of hard work and stress, McKay is officially a lawyer. He has to pass the bar first but he now has his juris doctor degree. The commencement was great. Here are a few pictures of the graduation and McKay in his robes.




Gavin and his class were able to attend the zoo this past week. McKay was between finals so he went with us. It was fun to see how the kids responded to animals, especially Josh. He just stared at them.
This is Gavin and his friend/classmate Maria. They are good friends. He has made so many friends he will miss all of them when we move to Virginia.

Gavin found peanut butter left on the counter from lunch. He doesn't get into things often without asking, but this time he would be sneaky and not ask. He just dug right in and got big finger scoops full.

Nope this is not our backyard. This is the backyard of where we are staying for the summer. We decided to play a family game of crocket. It was a blast. Gavin can really hit the ball!
This is the house where we are staying. A family in our ward were leaving for the summer and needed someone to watch their home for them. It so happened that our house was sold faster than we thought so this great family is letting us stay here. It is a beautiful home. We are happy here and still get the ward and Syracuse until August. We have just signed a contract for a new home in Virginia. After Mac takes the bar here, we are moving again!
The move from our old house was great. We had the Elders quorum help us out and we have all of our stuff stored for 2 months and then they will ship our stuff to Virginia for us. It all worked out.

This is future Elder Tolboe. Mac's mom is visiting for his graduation and she asked Gavin is he would be her companion. He is wearing the name tag and everything!



Gavin and Jeanne have been inseperable. Gavin has loved getting on the piano and playing his versions of primary songs and singing them out loud. Jeanne has been kind to help him out. We have loved having her here.
