Happy Gradumanation Day-Part 2

 

The day has finally arrived!

Girls!

Proud Parents-photo by Sarah. 

 

One happy girl.

Finally getting her diploma.

I LOVE Sarah’s Self-Portraits!

My three sweeties.  They are growing up sooooo fast…

Despite the background, this should probably be my new family photo. 

Elizabeth and Grandma  

Part 1-I love these photos.  What you didn’t see-love the photos of all of us getting into the car (taken by Sarah) and also the photos of Elizabeth with the curlers in her hair and me “pretending” to do Elizabeth’s hair.  Wish I could have taped that conversation with Elizabeth yelling at me about how she didn’t like it and me telling her that I wasn’t finished yet…

Anyway, had a wonderful time Friday night!  So so fun.  And so glad the stress of graduation and the party is over. 

More photos coming soon. 

Happy Tuesday!

Sweet 16

Happy 16th Birthday, William! 

{I’m posting this a few days early because I don’t want my sweet middle child's 16th birthday to get lost in the mass chaos of preparing for Elizabeth’s graduation and graduation party. }

It seems like only yesterday that you were riding around on the tricycle at Pre-K wearing the Happy Birthday crown on. 

It has been 11 years since Pre-K graduation. 

You were a cutey then and you still are now.

So cute .  A new game and a new controller for your birthday. 

You look a lot like this guy-even though you won’t admit it. 

We love you, William! 

Happy Birthday!

Totally Random Friday

Art Journal Page in Progress-totally lifted from Donna Downey’s Inspiration Wednesday pages as seen here.

I have also been playing around with writing with the darning foot on my sewing machine. 

I love these colors and it was fun to just play around.

Because even Mom’s need some time to play, right?

Pudge thinks not.  She would like to eat snacks all day.

Ralph is always pensive.

And Tigger is a big bully. 

Happy Friday! Lots of planning and cleaning going on this weekend!
