Sophie graduated from Bala Cynwyd Middle School on June 11 and is officially a high schooler! We had our ups and downs in Middle School, as one does, and Sophie was mostly happy to say good riddance to it, but I think there was a little nostalgia there (or maybe that was just me).
Over Memorial Day weekend my family came up from Virginia and we hosted a party – a PARTY! – to celebrate Doug’s 60th birthday and Julia’s graduation from Bryn Mawr college with a Masters in Social Work. We were maskless and it was wonderful!
Quinn was in town from Arizona for Doug’s birthday and she brought her boyfriend, Gabe, whom the family was meeting for the first time. We had full on “Rainer” fun, and he was a good sport!
Unfortunately the weather was terrible, so despite the BBQ theme, we were all inside.
In July I headed up to Stony Brook to celebrate Brandon’s graduation from high school. He’s headed to Boston University in the fall. It was great to catch up with the Coughlin clan, including my dad who came up from Va.
The big graduate.
Pam, Brandon and Brittany, who came home for the weekend from school in Baltimore.
The family crew: Pam, Michelle, Steve, me, Brandon, Pam, and Dad.
Steve and Michelle came up from Florida and it was great to see them. It’s been years.
