The Merry Month of May

 

We've had a few things going on this month.  My nephew earned his Eagle Scout rank.  We attended his court of honor.  He is a great guy with a bright future.  He is also graduating with plans to join the Air Force.  This would not be my choice for him, but since it is his, I will support him and wish him the best.

My thoughtful father-in-law gave me beautiful roses for Mother's Day.

Each year on Mother's Day I get new plates decorated by my daughters.  They hang in the kitchen. It is fun to watch the artwork change as they get older.  The oldest was still at college, but she came home for the summer a few days later.

Of course the end of the year brings school concerts.  Only the youngest is still in a school musical group.

May is also dance picture month.  We will be getting professional pictures, but these are a few with our camera.  Unfortunately, we don't have one of middle daughter in her beautiful ballet costume,  but we'll have a chance to get one later.

On Wednesday, we celebrated the oldest's 19th birthday.  She shared the date with my mother-in-law.  It is hard to believe that many years have gone by.  In some ways it seems like it was just yesterday.  Love you!

Middle daughter has had some interesting projects for her English class.  The students were supposed to make something that was creative and a stretch for them.  They also needed to relate it to something they'd read for class.  The fabric was pretty inexpensive and the color was perfect.  She got lots of compliments and hopefully a good grade.

Next up a Girl Scout troop reunion and a Girl Scout Gold Award ceremony.  Have a good weekend!
