My youngest sibling, Brent, graduated from Dental School over Memorial Day weekend. What a wonderful reason to get the whole DeSutter family together (thanks Dad DeSutter over and over and over again). We almost had a full reunion, but Stephanie's OB said NO NO NO traveling for her at her appointment on Friday morning. We were so sad to miss her and Jon for the weekend gathering, but God safely brought them precious baby Matheson on June 10th.
The rest of my sibling and their families were together for the weekend in San Antonio. We stayed at the Hill Country Marriott, and it was fabulous despite the fact that we planned to swim the entire weekend but instead it rained most of the time. It was so fun for the cousins to run like crazy around the resort. We took advantage of any clear spots in the weather and hit the pools, slides, and lazy river. I did a horrible job taking pictures, but I still have some to show.
It was also a special time for everyone to FINALLY get to hug and love on Christina, who just completed procedures related to Breast Cancer. We are so thankful to God that she was able to be with us. It was very hard for us sisters to be apart from her while she struggled through her decisions and procedures.
