My Mother's Day!

Great day with super great cards from my kids.

That's Dave running to keep up with a bike riding Jenna - no training wheels!

Here is Ava this morning before we left for church.

More photo shoot from home...

girls

Ava preparing to enter church with the 20 or so kids that made their First Communion today.

This is what Jenna was doing during Mass.  Taking selfies with Grannie.

Ava receiving her certificate with Father Mike.

Ava having the medal (Pope John XXIII - now Saint) Grannie gave her as a gift blessed by Father Mike after Church.  This medal was given to Grannie by her aunt.

Us back at home. 

Grannie, the girls and I drove to Emmitsburg this afternoon to visit the Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Basilica. 

Happy Birthday to Me!

My birthday weekend was great!  We planted our vegetable garden.  Here it is! (Nevermind the finger in the corner- ooops!)

We took a selfie before I headed out to dinner with friends on Saturday night.

Ava was gone for a sleepover for the selfie, so she gets to pose with my tulips today.

Dinner with Grandma and Grandpa.  Drew LOVES it!  We all loved it!

Beautiful flowers.  Thank you!  On to being 44 and hoping to be healthy and hoping to have all this thyroid stuff behind me.  My surgeon said on Thursday he would not do anything further to treat the cancerous nodule that was removed. 

White House Easter Egg Roll!

I've been trying for 14 years to get tickets to the annual White House Easter Egg Roll.  This year...was our year... we were picked in the lottery for the last time slot 4:45-6:45pm!  The kids went to school this morning.  I picked them up two hours early and we headed down town.  Lots of people, lots of lines, lots of security, lots of grass and hills.... Cool experience, and now happy to say that we've done it....

Happy Easter!
