we had lots of nice visits from family leading up to Samuel's graduation on Sunday! a bonus treat was my dad's sister, my Aunt Sue, who happened to be in Raleigh visiting her daughter's family (my cousin) and hopped in the car with Dad to come treat us to a lovely dinner Thursday night! (and brought Samuel's much-anticipated graduation gift, a new ipod with a good camera and lots of memory for him to use on his trip to China!)
