sworn in

We went to Virginia the first weekend of June so that Michael could be sworn into the Virginia Bar. I think Michael said it best when he said that the best part of all this was passing the Bar. Law school graduation and being sworn into the Bar were just formalities, hoops that he had to get through essentially. But, of course it was fun to make it official by the Virginia Supreme Court judges. And you don't need to ask me twice to take a trip to Virginia. It was an insanely quick weekend, during which we tried to see everyone we could, but we had a great time!
While the lawyers were in a meeting, we had lots of time to play and run around in the convention center. Reese and Matthew have been partners in crime for most of their lives....once the became aware of each other pretty much. Every time they see each other, they are able to pick up right where they left off.


So much spinning and twirling...these kids were worn out!
It was even more fun to make this a family affair, as Michael's parents and brother James made the trip to Richmond with us!
Do these guys look carefree, or what?
These two dads are about to have a lot more time to spend with their kids...now that school and the Bar are all over. Isn't this just an image of bliss. What could be better than riding on your dad's shoulders?
One last goodbye in the parking lot before we went our separate ways. So sad.

That last picture almost brings me to tears...and it takes a lot get me to tear up! (Will you email it to me?) We miss you guys so so much! Matthew talks about Reese multiple times a day and always asks to "watch Reese" on the computer.
