Finally Graduation Pictures!

Dear Family and friends,

Lisa graduated from the College of St. Benedict in Minnesota on May 8th, 2010. Chris and I along with Jack and Kathryn drove to MN for Lisa's graduation. I realize that was a month ago, but I am finally getting around to posting. The pictures I am posting are all from the Tsang's camera. Sadly the second day we were in MN our camera got dropped and no longer works. We have some photo's on our camera, but we can't get them off since we can't turn it on and we don't own a card reader. I will figure it out eventually. In the mean time, here are photos taken by Lisa and her mom Joanna. The weather was uncooperative for the most part, the Tsang's even got to see some snow flakes on graduation day. Mostly it was windy and rainy. The sun snuck out a few times just to make us miss it even more. MN was green and lush and lovely anyway. It was so fun to be with Lisa's mom Joanna, Dad Julio, and brother Nick. We were comfortable and happy together. We are grateful that they shared Lisa with us for the past 5 years. We were sad to say good bye, not knowing when Lisa will be back in the USA again. We are excited for Lisa being done with school and off on a new adventure. Lisa is going to Japan for a year to teach English to elementary aged children. Her new job starts at the end of August. Lisa is home in Hong Kong now and has been too busy to post any pictures, hopefully she will soon, in the mean time these will have to suffice.

Lisa with her friends Penny and Christi, all from Hong Kong but they met in Minnesota at St Ben's. They were room mates part of the 4 years at St Ben's.

I guess at this point Jack and Kathryn are getting a little restless. Lisa showed us all around campus and we went with her to say good bye to friends and teachers. We finished packing up her apartment and loading her things into her parents rental car so she could stay with them at the hotel.

Jack's big day will be here before you know it! Why do they grow up so fast!?


Making silly faces!
Sunday afternoon the Tsang's came to Grandma Mary and Grandpa Rogers house in Albertville to have a BBQ and hang out.

Jack spent lots of time doing card tricks. Something he is very good at!
Kathryn with her cousin Nichole going down the slide. Doesn't Nichole look gorgeous!
Look at that awesome sky behind Jack!

Jack and Nick played catch in the park by Grandma Mary's house. It rained the majority of the time the Tsang's were in Minnesota and continued to rain until the day the kids and I left. We did get this one beautiful sunny day.
Kathryn going down the slide. I love the static in her hair.


Guess who turned 5 on May 5th? Your right Miss Kathryn Froelich! We had a barbeque and cake with the Tsang family and Grandma and Grandpa Brandt, Matt and Nichole and Chelsea at Grandma's house.
I made a Texas chocolate cake, yummy! Kathryn cut the cake herself. She's 5 after all.
