To Oklahoma and Back...

Where in the world has May gone?  It was just yesterday we celebrated Christmas, and now, we are almost finished with May. It has been a few weeks since I have written, and I apologize to those who check on me daily.  I love to blog, and can't believe I have been too busy.  I guess life will slow down eventually.

Last week, we shortened our school calender and made a very important trip to Oklahoma!  My sister graduated from nursing school!  We are so proud of her, and wanted to make sure we were there to help her celebrate and witness the event.  It is always fun when we visit our family, but it seems there is not enough time to go around.  Between all of the events surrounding Elise's graduation, and my nieces dance recital, we were left running the entire time!  If we missed you, I am truly sorry, and we will catch up on the next visit!

And then the next night...her diploma!


The graduate!  We are all so proud!


Elise and her husband Tom.  He was so proud of her!


Always the clown!  Where is my diploma?


Me and my Sister!  I love her and am so proud of her!!!


My adopted niece C.J., opening the Oklahoma ballet!


My niece Makenzie, leading the line out on pointe!


Jordan and Makenzie...such beautiful Oklahoma ballerinas!


The nieces after the show!  I think the florists made out like bandits!


I would have posted this earlier, but after our whirlwind visit, I came down with a pesky cold, and now my little ones are puny too.  The Little Man just can't shake this mess.  We are now on another round of antibiotics, and hopefully this will make him feel better. 

Just to bring you up to speed, our gardens are in full swing.  Everything is planted, and the corn should be popping through the soil any day.  Hopefully we will have a bumper crop of vegetables!  My little garden is complete with 20 tomato plants, 4 pepper plants, cucumbers, green beans, squash and zucchini.  Hopefully we will eat better with such an abundance of fresh vegetables! I am so ready for the fruits of our labors to pay off.

Until next time, keep adventuring and looking or joy in the small details of life!
