This past Memorial Day weekend was a busy one, but a GREAT one! We were thrilled to have good friends of ours John, Diana, and their soon to be one year old son, Patrick, in town to visit. Diana and I taught together at Minglewood for 2 years and they now live in the Washington, D.C. area. It was a 4th grade teacher reunion weekend also having Nicole in town who is now in St. Louis. We had such a great time enjoying another fine time at Jazz on the Lawn (a picnic at our local winery with live music), a birthday celebration dinner in honor of Shannon, hanging out and playing games, and a nice Memorial Day brunch. Overall, we had a blast and it was so much fun to have Greyson and Patrick in the house - we definitely realized we have a lot of baby proofing in our future thanks to Patrick's walking around and being our little tester. So wonderful to have the "original teaching crew" back together - makes me realize how much I miss those girls and all the antics we would get into in and out of school.
Greyson is doing really well - getting pretty regular on his schedule and even shifted his bedtime up a bit to more like 8pm and it's nice to have some "Mom and Dad time" every evening. Kyle is preparing to head off to Ft. Lewis, Washington in early June for a month of ROTC camp training (I call it "playing war"), and I'm getting rather sad he'll be leaving us. I know Grey and I will be fine, and we're looking forward to a long visit at home in Chicago to visit with family, but it just won't be the same without Daddy. Granted I really shouldn't complain because so many people I know have their husbands deployed again and mine is only going to another state for a month - in perspective I think we can handle that. Hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend and as usual, enjoy the video clips and week 14 pictures!
With Love,
K, L, and G
