Arielle's Birthday

Life is a blur and I don't remember why Krista and I went over to the house early on the 23rd - but we did.

We were determined to make a birthday banner and found supplies for that in the house. I thought it was pretty cute. Everyone signed it and Jamin told us to hang it behind his graduation table. He also got a birthday balloon for his graduation table. It was about perfect for our two introverts to share the day with each other. LOL

We went to Mr. G's for lunch.

This photo should be last.....woe to she who eats slowly...

Arielle and her banner...the pig hat is packed.

It was a blast to have the whole family at a table again....4 to be precise.

I've just been kicked off at 20 minutes because a military student needs the computer...it will be nice to be back at a family base. ::snort::

A Packing Day

I'm not sure WHICH packing day this was....I believe the 21st. Krista wasn't in town yet.

The kids enjoyed another playdate with the A family. It's rare to find someone who takes Zander in stride...and we have found that in Deja and family. He's a handful....he can try a person's patience...but she seems to find good in him as well....and feeds him the right food on top of all that. ::snort::

Emma knitted this scraf for Arielle. It's to be a warm hug from Emma on cold, winter, Misawa days. Bre later told me she almost cried watching Emma and Arielle say goodbye (which turned out NOT to be goodbye yet. ) ::snort::

We thought it would be good for the younger ones to see their things in boxes, as practised.

Stacia said, "Wow! There's lots of hiding places now!"

Note - I'm at the library and loving the FAST connection. I'll load all the photos that I've uploaded to PB and hopefully get to graduation pics before Saturday (one week late). You KNOW being behind is killing me! ::snort::

Locks of Love

Two years ago, BreAnne began growing her hair for Locks of Love. On Wednesday, 20 May, we had a girls day at Trendsetters. Bre's rather petite. Her only request was that Heather make sure she "look 24 and not 10" once her hair was cut short. Heather cut off 11 - 12 inches.

I think it turned out darling and was thrilled that Arielle, Stacia, Heather and I got to be a part of the culmination of the project.
