In a blink...

How did 13 years pass by so quickly.  It seems like yesterday I was attending this event:


And then just yesterday, I attended this one:


Caleb, you are such a blessing!  We sailed through the school years without ever an issue.  You are a pleaser, a giver, you never want to hurt mom and dad's feelings, and you love the Lord with all your heart!  We don't deserve you but are beyond thankful God gave you to us anyway!

It was a great time of celebration.  My sister and brother-in-law, my parents and Scott's parents were able to attend and spend a couple of days here.  It went by way to quickly but it was a great few days celebrating our son!
His sweet sisters!

The family!

We love you, Caleb!

More travels and celebrations....

Since my last post, we've celebrated our middle child's 21st birthday on June 1st, traveled to Nassau (I know....someone has to do it), had our oldest return from a mission's trip to Bolivia, and now prepare for our youngest's graduation from high school.
Lindsay turned 21 on June 1st and we were fortunate enough to spend it in Nassau.  We made a commitment to take our kids to a destination of their choosing (within reason...and somewhere that we have travel points :) on this momentous birthday.  We spent Heather's last year in NYC.
Nassau was great!  In fact, when we got home we told Caleb we hoped that is where he would choose and we would take the entire family (I don't think we will give him a choice) :)  We stayed at Comfort Suites right across the street from the Atlantis Resort.  Scott has Choice Hotel points so our stay was free...which makes it even more wonderful!  It was an amazing trip where lots of memories were made.
Heather returned from Bolivia with some of the kids from our church college group on May 28th.  She said it was the trip of a lifetime!  God really worked in the hearts of those kids.  I've always known that Heather has a heart for missions.
This Tuesday we will attend Caleb's high school graduation!  Really hard for me to believe.  Looking forward to spending a couple of days with family.

Team Bolivia

 They really did work hard :)


 Oh yes they did! (Heather, you are definitely my "mini-me" :)
 Breakfast in Nassau!  Yes, I DO love mornings!

 Happy Birthday, Lindsay!
