My older son is home again now, but he has been away on a short vacation. He was visiting his girlfriend and her family who live in New Jersey. I haven't yet met this girl except to talk to her through Skype. She seems very sweet. I do know she makes my son very happy which is all I need to know.
They took short trips to New York and to Pennsylvania together while he was there. Here are a few pictures they shared with me.

in front of New York Public Library (I think they took this picture for me.)
I thought this one was very sweet.
These last two taken at a toy store made me laugh.
My other son's girlfriend graduated from high school this past weekend. We went to the ceremony and then to her graduation party afterwards. She graduated with honors and was in the top 10 percent of her class. I felt as proud of her as if she were my own.
She is standing in front with the others in the top ten percent of the class here in this picture.
Because her mom is employed by the schools, she was the one to hand her daughter her diploma.

Daisy, you are one of the very first bloggers I met three years ago and I have grown to know and admire your sons very much. Thank you for sharing these happy photos of them with their girls. They both are lovely couples and I enjoyed the pictures so very much.
Daisy, your handsome sons really know how to pick out girlfriends!!! Both girls are so cute!!! You are blessed!
Awe Daisy that is so sweet. I know you are so proud of those boys. They are growing up so fast.
So sweet, Daisy! They look so happy. I am totally attached to my son's girlfriend. I have adopted her.
Both sons graduate this weekend! Wish me luck!
Handsome and Beautiful, all. And smart -- top 10%
Sweet, sweet, sweet.
My only resentment is you will probably get to have grand-kids before I do. :) :) :)
Lovely post, and I love the school colors, very vibrant.
xoxoxo
Wonderful pictures! Both of your sons are very handsome and their girlfriends look like very sweet girls. I love that you said all you care about is that the girlfriend makes your son happy. That is a wonderful way of thinking!
Hope you're having a great day! :)
Daisy,

Thank you all. I am proud of my boys and am pleased they are both so happy. Thanks for listening to me brag on them a bit.
Good luck to you and your sons on making it to graduation day, Betty!
Jannie, I am not in a real big hurry to be a grandma, yet. HAHA! :D
Thank you all for your kind words. I hope you are having a great day!
Daisy, when I read that your older son's girlfriend lives in NJ, I wondered Where? since both Grenville and I were born and lived in various parts of the tate - small world indeed. Lovely post and photos of nice young couples.
No more NKOTB no longer 'boys' hahaha. Nice loving couples great pairs.
Just what we moms wish for our sons; someone to share life's joyful moments with. Nice!
Beatrice, she is from Ewing, New Jersey. Yes, it is a small world! :)
Bananaz, you're right, they are young men now not boys, but they will always be "my" boys, I think. :D
Diana, yes indeed! They both seem very happy and that makes me happy too. :)
Hi Daisy it looks like your boys are in good hands there, loved the fun photos.
Thanks, Ryan. Yes, I agree with that. I think they have both chosen well. :-)
What a sweet couple.........both couples make! blessings,Kathleen
Thank you, Kathleen. I hope you have a nice weekend! :)
Wow, your sons are all going out and about in the world! New York looks fun! So does graduating from high school...
Looks like your sons are growing up and having a wonderful life ahead of them! You are so blessed! blessings,Kathleen
Seequine, I think both of my boys have done more travelling than I've ever done. As for graduating, yes, I think she's glad to be done with it.
Kathleen, I hope they have a good future ahead of them. I do feel blessed to have them as my sons.
Nice to see your son Daisy! My wishes to him.
Thank you, Kochuravi! :)
Great pictures! Yep, as long as she makes him happy, that is what counts.
How cool is that to be able to hand your daughter her diploma. What a great memory!
Thank you, Susan. I thought that was cool too. There were several teachers and other employees of the school who got to hand their son or daughter their diploma that day. :)
Handsome (and good) guys and beautiful girls. I enjoyed these.
Thank you, Sandy. I am very proud of both of them. :)
Very handsome sons and beautiful girlfriends. Mom's are partial to their kids, but I raised a son, I know how you feel.. Susie
Thank you, Susie. I feel like I have two sons and two daughters now with these girls. I feel very blessed. :)
