Savannah

So I do still mostly love it here. This picture of Anthony sorta captures the feeling of the city.

Graduation Day

Anthony is now officially a kindergartner. Isn't that awesome! He is so excited to go to BIG school. He tells me how smart he is and that he is DEFINITELY ready. And so am I. Don't get me wrong, I will miss the little dude...but I am happy for him. He is so big and independent these days. It is amazing to watch.


The boys had their end of year Splash Blash! Sprinklers, pools, shaving cream, water guns and some food. What could be better?

Then we had graduation day with lots of singing. By far though, the highlight was Gabe's friend Kaylee nearly strangling him because she 'just loves him so much' as they sang songs about Jesus' love. Classic!!!!

Never Enough

Do you ever wonder if it is ever enough? I think this all the time. Right now my kids are watching a movie so I can get just a minute of time without the "moooommmmmmyyyyyy" cry. And yes, I am having a beer at: in the afternoon while it is over 95 in MAY!!! But lately, I keep thinking that it just isn't enough.

We all have those friends. The one that no matter what you do they have a follow up question that implies it really wasn't enough.

Me: "I made bread today."
Friend: "Oh, did you grind your flour?"

Me: "Anthony is reading great lately. He has about 30 site words."
Friend: "Oh, is reading a book without pictures yet?"

Me: "We went to the art museum today."
Friend: "Oh, are you going to do the art camp."

No matter how well meaning, all you can think is gee thanks, now I am still behind the power curve.

So is it enough...probably not and most definitely. There is always more to do. A way to eat better, live better, save more, educate better, play better. But I hope I am doing enough that we manage to survive for a few more days until I need another movie afternoon to keep us functioning.

Just Funny

I think it was 85 the day we took this. They are Han Solo and Luke Skywalker on the planet Haath.

Mother's Day

Rob got a 4 day weekend and has been most helpful. He has completely redeemed himself from my birthday weekend. And I got a much needed break. It seems as I talk with each of my mom friends that the one thing we want for Mother's Day is a break from being a mom.

My celebration kicked off with a party at the school for the boys. I have to say that RHUMC does a great job for us. They have some of the most thoughtful gifts and most wonderful teachers. I will miss them next year. I received a beautiful placemat, a hand print poem and hand print flowers from the boys. I am a sucker for anything with the boy's hand or foot prints.

For most of the weekend, we all just hung out. On Saturday, we went shopping at Lowe's. On Sunday we went for brunch, then played at the park, then I got to shop alone for a bit, then we hung at the pool with banana daquaris. Today, I made Rob clean the garage. He would rather do any other task than clean the garage, but he made serious progress on it. Excellent.


But best of all, I am getting my iPhone 4 on Tuesday!!!!
