Saturday mornings – should be for sleeping and lounging around – but when you are a “grown-up” – oh no – there are things to be done.
Jared was doing the dishes while I was cleaning upstairs when he yelled for me to come look at something.
He found this in the sink …
He speared it with a fork and threw it outside. Spiders don’t normally bother me too much – but this one – too gross.
Shutterfly changed their website and I can’t figure out how to save the pictures off the site to post to my blog. I also can’t figure out how to make them smaller from my camera directly. So – I have LOTS of new pictures – but I can’t get them up.
Also, if you are new to the website – make sure to check out all old blog entries – I tend to upload pics in the blog instead of the gallery. When I have a large block of time – I will tackle the gallery additions.
This week is a busy one. My cousins – 10 and 11 are coming tonight to spend the week with us – Mega Sports Camp at CNC this week. Jared and I are the soccer coaches – 5.30 to 9 each night this week. Tuesday afternoon I have off work so I will prolly spend it at the pool with Vanessa and Zach. Saturday I have a wedding in Athens – that my Aunt L is going to assist me with (thanks Aunt L for the assist and Amy for letting me borrow her camera – which is a twin to mine). Sunday we have to be back in Mansfield for Church – Children’s Sunday. Monday I have an appt. in King of Prussia for my jaw – unless I can get in with the guy in North Umberland – then I will go there. Then it’s pretty much free and clear till July 8th – when I have a family photo shoot in my backyard. On the 19th of July we leave with the in-laws for the beach for a WEEK. August is insane. I have three weddings, a graduation party, a church picnic, and seeing Trudy in Virginia for 3 days and 2 on the train. I have two weddings in September and then the Renaissance Faire. October brings Sara and Pete’s wedding and hopefully The Office convention. There I go again – planning my life away. Hopefully by the end of that insanity we will be working toward expanding our family.
Starky is one of the graduates form NCA. She is so full of life and laughter. If you need a hug, Starky is the person to ask. She had a party on Saturday and invited us to attend. Cake, country music, volleyball, trampoline, water balloons – the works.
Happy Graduation Starky – have a blast at college and make sure to keep an ear to God at all times.
Friday night, May 30th, the seniors at NCA graduated. Jared and I have only been leading PowerKidz for the past three years, so I didn’t watch these seniors grow up – but I still cried during everyone’s speech – I don’t have any idea what I will be like when the kids from PowerKidz actually graduate. In the fall, I took pictures of the NCA Class of 2008.
And the beginning of the rest of their lives …
Welcome to the “real world” …
I love watching graduation at NCA – the prayer time during graduation always moves me so much and lets me know that the decision of having our kids – someday – go there is the right one.
Congrats again graduates.
Jared and I went for a mid-morning walk on Memorial Day hoping to catch the parade but we had no such luck.
I noticed that the wall at the red light in Mansfield needs some TLC.
Again, thank to all who have served and are serving our country. May God bless you richly.
On Thursday I got my hair cut … off. Ideally I would wear my hair “boy short” like I did so long ago – but the general feeling from Jared (and others) is NO WAY. I like this look thou.
We just happened to see “Chuck” hit 3000 miles on Tuesday and I just happened to have my camera to document the moment.
Our poor children are going to be so sick of cameras …
