May

May was a whirlwind - in addition to graduation and end of school, here's what else we were up to...

Samuel was first place in the second graders of Chess Club this semester.

We enjoyed a lovely Mother's Day brunch with the Schoenecke family at Hugo's Oyster Bar

Mother's Day - so thankful to be called Mom by these four!

Grace made amazingly good cupcakes for Mother's Day!

Henry knows how to get to a mom's heart - chocolate!

And I love Samuel's sweet fan he made me!

Grace gave me some yummy smelling candles and a beautiful card.

And Nicholas drew a fantastic picture of my home parish, Immaculate Conception.

Nicholas and the 8th graders sold donuts at carpool one morning to earn money for their class gift to the school - which will be a crucifix for the new chapel they are building.

Nicholas swam at a swim meet at UGA for the first time (Grace was supposed toastier well but was sick so stayed home)

So cool for him to see the campus for the first time!

I also treated him for sushi one night in Athens  - a reward for earning "Principles List" which is 98% or above in all classes!!

He was pretty excited about this feast (and so was I :-)

Nicholas and Julianne were asked to represent the 8th graders and crown Mary at the May crowning.

Nicholas also lead one of the decades of the rosary, as school Chaplin.

Henry earned his first rank in Boy Scouts.

Henry joined the scouts for a day of learning and fun to earn their Indian Lore Merit Badge

It was a treat to have Grandma in town for a long weekend - she was here for Nicholas' Lux Regina mass and last day clap out, N,G and H track meet, S baseball game, N graduation, amongst tons of other fun together - it was a great visit!

Grace played her clarinet in the end of the year band concert and played very well

Summer All Star baseball - Roswell Renegades Black

Sam made this select team as an alternate which means he practiced with the team and played in several summer tournaments.

Graduation dinner at Rojo!

Graduation cupcakes made by Grace in QA colors

Youth group fun at church

Grandma treated Nicholas to a day of fun at Top Golf as part of his graduation gift!!

Loving Grandma!!!
