We are very proud of Ashley and Ryan and their accomplishments.

Graduation week at BYU brought Wendy and Steve to Provo to honor our latest graduates.  We are very proud of both Ryan and Ashley and honor Ashley who completed her senior recital and final classes while dealing with morning sickness.  Cousin Christine Johnson also graduated so seeing Uncle Lynn and Marian was an extra bonus for the trip.  Holly was also in Utah valley that week to make all the selections for the house they are having built in Highland.

Ashley and Ryan will stay in Provo until the end of June.  Their baby is due May 21.  We are eager to have Ashley and new baby here in Maryland during the summer while Ryan does his job training at Goldman in New York City.

Holly and Dave received three offers on their house here and they will be moving out on July 31.

Nicole and Jeff are leaving Provo for Denver on May 11.  Jeff has a summer internship at J.P. Morgan and Nicole will work at the summer day camp where she worked last summer.

Mom and Dad are headed for Minneapolis this weekend to visit Sara and Ian and baby Oliver.

Cousin Jenny Truman had baby number 8, little Braden Truman, on April 29.  That makes 4 girls and four boys for her and Chad.

Grandma Morris will turn 90 on May 24 and we plan a trip to New York to honor her on this special birthday.

For those who aren't in on the family joke, McGrath's is Dad's favorite restaurant. Which is interesting, considering that he has never eaten there.
