Odds and ends

These are just some random pictures I took over the course of a few weeks.

 Amber gave me this going away picture board to remind me of my family. I have added to it and I enjoy looking at it every morning and nite when I say my prayers and just to enjoy.



I wish the pictures could capture the magnitude of this rain. It never just rains, it pours!! Also, lots of thunder and lightening continually.

Could not resist an evening out to stop at Toni's favorite children's clothing store. 


 My boss loves the strangest thins. Just him being him as usual. He is easily amused.

Trip home for Sophie's Birthday and Samantha's Graduation and visits

This was such a great but too short of trip. I spent wonderful time with my family and friends. Lunch with Mandy, Cynthia, Amber and Elizabeth. Swim practice with Lena and Gabe and Gabe's end of the school year party. Church to see soooo many of my friends and get lots of hugs. And Sophie's party was the best ever! Got some important things out of the way, dentist and blood test. Specimen of health! It was a great visit. So miss my kids and friends. I love to spend time with my amazing daughter. She baked herself to a new high with Sophies birthday smash cake and all the cupcakes. She is a master cook and I am very proud of her and her talents as a mother and wife. Weather was perfect and warm, some lawns were still green or sort of. Samantha's graduation was perfect and we are so very proud of her. All her family was there except Eric who was working.

Tickets going home!
