End of the School Year
This picture is of Savannah's first trip to ask Lena to play without mom or dad along. I'm not sure why, but this was a super huge deal to me. Now she's officially a big girl visiting the neighbors' houses like all of the school aged kids.
And then today, we said goodbye to Miss Karyn and Miss Peggy. These teachers have been the best we have ever had. They are the perfect balance of love and discipline. These women have loved our little Savannah even when she wasn't the most lovable and have taught her amazing things . . . all while wearing a smile every day. We've even adopted one of their sayings in our house: you get what you get and don't throw a fit. They'll definitely be missed!!

Mother's Day
On Saturday afternoon, these beautiful flowers arrived from my precious Bible study friends. Along with the flowers were individual letters from 8 girls with words of encouragement, scripture, and memories. This definitely made me day!! :) Knowing that my friends cared enough to not only remember the pain, but to send flowers and letters really made me feel loved. I know mom was relieved that I didn't make this journey alone. Thanks girls!!!
Sunday Dave surprised me with an amazing gift of a massage, foot scrub, and facial . . . I can hardly wait to be pampered for a few hours!!! Savannah was so excited to give me my card with a sticker in it and to show me how she wrote MOM all by herself on the envelope. Priceless. We made it to the 8:15 service and then headed straight to Greenville for our niece's baptism. It was nice to be surrounded by lots of family for the afternoon. After the church service (which Preston made it through in my lap!) we had a delicious lunch buffet at the Hilton. They must have know that we were a rowdy bunch with 6 kids so we had our own private room! What a special day. Here are a few pictures from our day.
The Weningers
So, I did it. I made it through the first Mother's Day without my mom here to hug. Somehow I know she still feels the love in Heaven . . . I love you Mom!!!
The Clown Hat
While I was out running errands one Saturday, Dave dressed up Savannah like a "clown"
So, to go along with the theme, Aunt Cherry offered to make Savannah a clown outfit. We were so excited to get it in the mail last week . . . and although I'm saving the preview of the outfit for the party, here is a sneak peak. This child LOVES the matching hat and wears it everyday!!
