May 31 was an eventful day for our family. It started for Elyse with basketball games in Portland in the morning and ended with Prom at night. It started for Tyler with baseball games at noon and ended with a trip to the emergency room all afternoon. I think the pictures tell it all!

Saying good-bye to Peter at the airport was hard, but the fact that Peter was so excited he couldn't stop smiling made it a little easier!  Here's hoping the next two years fly by as quickly as the past nineteen.

The Barnes Family is happy to announce our new blog. Please play along and send all your Barack Obama photos. In the meantime, you can see Peter's close encounter.
