On his way to pick up his DIPLOMA!

Entering the room

He did it!

We just got back in the door from a trip to Joplin, MO. Our reason for going? To attend Nathan's High School graduation! Yes, he did it and we are proud of him. (Look for pictures to be posted as soon as I have time!)

We don't know what his long term plans are yet, and I am not sure that he does either at this point. And that is okay. Congratuations Nathan!

Another Paulaism

I was reading my Bible on the computer. I happened to be in the book of Proverbs. You know, where it talks about the qualities of a righteous woman. She looked at it and said something like this, "Oh, are you writing a poem about me?" Sometimes I wonder how that head fits through the door!

Lofty Goal - Part 2

I decided to put a working space under each loft. Pictured is Jeremy's. Both Maggie and Jeremy liked the idea, and soon put it too good use. They each gathered up some items from their room and opened up a little play store. Then they stood behind their counters and "sold" their merchandise to one another. They also showed what they knew about getting customers to their store. When I asked Maggie how much for a hug and a kiss, she said the were $1. Jeremy was quick to counter that at his store, hugs and kisses were free!

Bubba

I had the chance to go out and visit Nathan (Bubba to Maggie and Jeremy) at the end of Spring Break. He is doing well, and looking forward to graduating High School this May.

Lofty Goal

One of my goals for Spring Break was to make loft beds for Maggie and Jeremy. Here are the twins new loft beds. As you can tell, they approved.

Happy Birthday Mom

She would have been 81 today. We all miss you, dad, and Tom. All our love.
