Adrian's Preschool Graduation

Adrian had his "Growing Up" ceremony at ELP last Wednesday. He was nervous about getting up in front of all the parents and singing and dancing their songs. His favorite part of the ceremony was getting to pick his prayer pillow. He chose one with a green pouch that he said looked like camo. He was really dressed up compared to most of the kids there but he didn't mind. He wanted to wear his suit and the cufflinks that had been his great-grandfather's. After the ceremony Andy and I took him to eat lunch at Chick-Fil-A in the mall.

Morgan's First Communion

Morgan had her First Communion last Sunday. Mom and Andy's parents were able to come here for the event. Morgan was really nervous about the ceremony but she did just great. She was able to wear the same dress she wore as a flower girl in Gwen's wedding but we had a white sash and bow and she had a different headpiece that Mom and Dad got for her. Her friends - Weston, Alyssa, Elle, Hans, Michael, and Ryan - were able to come with their parents as well. After the ceremony we had a reception for her at our house. The kids had fun playing and running around.

Gwen's Wedding

Gwen got married on April 26th so the kids and I flew to Birmingham to be there. It was the first time Adrian had ever flown and Morgan hadn't flown since she was 2 years old. It was an adventure for them and they really enjoyed it. They were squealing and laughing and comparing it to a Walt Disney World ride. I think the businessman in front of Adrian was getting a kick out of their reactions. He was smiling and chuckling a little. We flew on a little jet that was only 3 seats wide and 18 rows long.





Morgan was the flower girl and I was the matron-of-honor. Morgan was so beautiful in her dress with the head wreath that Gwen got for her to wear. Morgan was really nervous but it didn't show when she was out there doing her thing. It was a very nice ceremony and reception. I had a hard time not crying. My eyes welled with tears but luckily I was able to keep them from falling and ruining my make-up.
