So much has been going on around here lately. Since today is a rainy Monday, I thought I would try to update here.
First off, Mother’s Day was yesterday. Molly and Mack were here, but Ruby was still in Virginia, so I was blessed with these flowers from her. Lovely! and thoughtful.
Mack received this awesome award at the end of the year Track Party. I am so proud of him.
I also attended one of his track meets and watched him throw the discus. There is a lot going on at a track meet!
We went to Senior Chapel where there were some awards given out and a prayer time for the grad and his parents. A sweet memory.
Mack has chosen to attend Cape Fear Community College and transfer into UNC Wilmington next year…unless by some act of God he gets to attend before then. But I am proud of his good attitude and excitement for the next season.
Rolo got a new haircut by a groomer that actually knows how to cut a Lagotto Romagnolo, so that is exciting! She seemed please with her new cut and blow out. Don’t worry, she is back curly now.
She also loves her new spot in front of the window. She was sitting on our couch like a cat and ruining the cushion, so we had to adjust.
I asked Chat GPT to make Rolo into a human and gave it some descriptions of her personality…lol!
Josh found himself twenty minutes from Mount Rushmore, so he made the drive and snapped a photo, sent it to our family group chat and we all laughed. Mack didn’t even know Josh was out of town, so once he confirmed this picture was real, he was laughing.
Molly wrapped up her semester at Liberty and is now home for the summer! She also sang at a local church for Good Friday and Easter. I am so glad she will be around for the next couple of months! She is a very helpful young lady and lots of fun…plus, I get to hear her playing piano and singing regularly.
Ruby also wrapped up her semester and will be living in Lynchburg and working. She turns 21 in a couple of weeks!!! Crazy. And if all goes as planned, her senior year at LU will begin this fall. She is taking photos for graduates and couples and making some money. I love seeing her photos!!!
The yard has been so beautiful this spring. These are older photos, but it just keeps getting better and better. The hydrangeas are also starting to peek out—a nice blue this year.
Mack is working at AutoBell and will be picking up a lot more hours this summer!
This is my group of friends that also are in the Bible study I host…minus sweet Sara and Stephanie who couldn’t make it. But we decorated frames and clutches with seashells. Everyone is so creative! I cannot wait to gather regularly with them in the fall.
We had a painter come and paint our guest room, the kitchen and cabinets, and our back sun room. He did a great job. We also replaced the mirror over the fireplace with this painting by Maggie B. French, a local artist. I love the colors!
Irvin sent this photo of me at a shower with my mom and Josh’s mom. So sweet…I am so glad to have this photo. I miss them!!
He also sent this one. LOL! We were going to be getting rid of this nursery chair that we used for all three of them, and I said I wanted a photo of me with them in the chair. Not everyone was happy about that request. But what a sweet photo!!! Hands were full and so was my heart….these little boogers have grown me in ways I never imagined. Motherhood brings you closer to God in such a unique way. It still does even though they are now 18, 19, and 20 years old. Love them so.
