Memorial Day / Johanna’s birthday

The Hoyt’s invited us over for the holiday, so we celebrated Johanna’s birthday with our special friends.

Marguerite bought her balloons.

I love this little girl and I love this family God is allowing us to do life with.

Last day of CBS

It was “Sharing Day” and at our new CBS in Greenville, the youth also participate.  Both Johanna and Katriel shared about what they learned from the study of John this year. 

There is a reason CBS is the FIRST THING on my calendar every year.

School’s done lunch

After Johanna, Katriel, and I went to a library field trip, we picked up Marie and Tab and headed to a local Mexican restaurant Tab had been to with friends.

It was incredible.

My only regret is that I  had forgotten how I lost my appetite a month or so ago and my brain rarely remembers.

May the 4th

The balloons are still up from Tab’s birthday party.  So we made good use of them.

It was Marie’s last day of her freshman year.

And we are getting serious about Tabitha clocking in driving.  We hope she has her license by the end of summer.

New hair and new here!

As my hair appointment drew closer, and I realized I wasn’t going to need a hair cut (I have to make the appointments months in advance because she does it solo out of her home and has family-focused hours) I offered the appointment to Tab.

She took me up on  it, and got herself some spectacular highlights and a curl-friendly cut.  I love it.

Meanwhile, Friday evening, Marie and Johanna attended the Volunteer Dinner (the dinner to recognize volunteers) at church.  As a new choir member, Johanna was included!
