So proud of these two girls.

Mother's Day 2024

 

It was a full mother's day with serving at the 8:30 gathering, attending the 10am gathering and Aunt Bekah flying in at 12:30. We did head to Tower Seven at Wrightsville Beach for dinner Sunday night. I also was gifted a new dress and some amazing homemade cards from the kids.

I'm not sure which he loves best: pizza or Mom!

A weekend with Lily

 

Lily & I were able to grab a few pockets of alone time over this past weekend. We enjoyed some mom/daugher time and conversations, watching a movie, a really yummy breakfast together at Our Crepe's and More, her pick, and then a drive to Charlotte for two dear friend's bridal showers.

Jessie & Jenny are both getting married this summer.

AIG wax museum

Today, Benny participated in the AIG wax museum. It was an author study. Benny picked Lauren Tarshis, author of the I Survived Series. Benny loves these books; really all our kids do - especially the new graphic novels! They are historical fiction. Benny read I Survived the American Revolution, 1776. He had to read the book, do google slides about the author which were then put onto his trifold, and dress up as a character from the book. We even borrowed the costume from our cousins.

So proud of this kid. He recently tested at the reading level of a 7th grader! 

Lily: Prom 2024

Lily had her Prom Friday night. It was for 7-10th grade.

Lily will finish 8th grade next month and turn 14 in June!

Flowers from her Dad

Mom volunteered at the ice cream truck.

I grabbed some mini roses from Harris Teeter and made Lily a sweet little bouquet.
