Busier Than A Bee

This last weekend was very busy (and extended over 6 days). The whole family headed to J's parents to help with the planting and getting ready for J's youngest sister's high school graduation. We spent a lot of time making mints and food. The weekend brought some rain, as is typical for Memorial Day Weekend, so the planting was cut short. It all ended up working out so that Grandpa could spend some time with his kids and granddaughters.

D had to head back home Monday evening, but the girls and I stayed so we could have a bridal shower for J's other sister on Tuesday night. Wednesday morning we came back home, quickly cleaned the house and prepared for Bible Study on Thursday evening. Here we are to Friday already. Now we begin the work on getting things ready for the upcoming move (i.e. cleaning, packing, etc.).

D's graduation. She was the valedictorian and had to give a little speech. We are very proud of how she made sure to make this an opportunity to witness. That is actually a testament to how she has always lived.

The balloons from D's graduation were a big hit with both girls.

The whole family spent some time playing Bocce ball on Monday. Unfortunately, one of many thunderstorms brought our game to an end.

Bentley found some fun toys to play with. She loves the toys that Bria plays with.

We spent quite a bit of time hanging out and playing at the youth center.

Bria was so exhausted by Tuesday afternoon that even after her nap she laid down on the couch and fell asleep. People were even going through the room and Bentley was making lots of noise. This is something that has never ever happened before. We eventually had to wake her up.

Bentley was a bit crabby for the entire weekend because she was cutting a tooth. It finally came through today, but she is still working those gums. I'm guessing she has another coming.
