Wow! It is hard to believe that another school year has come to an end. Hopefully by now, the boys are enjoying sleeping in late, yummy homecooked meals and spending time with family and friends. The end of the year was a whirlwind, but here are some photos of our final few weeks together in MLS.

We had a delicious cookout together, with plenty of food to go around. Chips, sodas, cookies...


Hotdogs and Hamburgers...


And even some delicious steak tips (Thanks, Dave!)...

The final weekend of the school year was filled with fun and entertainment! PAPA hosted a wonderful cookout behind the gym, kids tie-died t-shirts, listened to a band, played in big jumpy houses and enjoyed one another's company.


Amir, Harris and Griffin enjoyed the food...


Dylan and his friends Aaron and Orlando...

After a long week of finals, moving day arrived. The boys did a great job packing and cleaning up their rooms.

Here is Harris' car being packed to the brim...


Our four seniors attended the Senior Dinner on Friday night with their families and friends. The gymnasium was transformed into an elaborate and very professional setting.

Congratulations to the class of 2008! (MLS boys: David Kaplan, Jon Levine, Harry Merck and Brooks Whitehouse)


Graduation was held in the gym, as the skies were threatening rain all morning on Saturday.

Thank you all for a wonderful year in MLS. Boys: you made it a very memorable year for us and we will miss all of you! Parents: Thank you for helping us out in so many ways. We couldn't have had such a successful year without your support. This is probably the last post of the MLS blog as Scott and I are moving to a different dorm next year. Ben will still be holding down the fort in MLS though, and the three of us (Scott, Lindsey and our baby (!!!) will not be far away). Thanks again for a great 2007-2008 school year! Have a WONDERFUL summer vacation boys!!!
