Celebrating in Unusual Ways

Nichole was scheduled to move into her apartment on August 31. That happened to be National Trail Mix Day and I happened to be sick, so Jeremy once again took care of things. My hero.

He drove her down so she could drop stuff off then come back home. 

Jeremy came into our room where I was lying down and gave me flowers and a card. It was not a "Get Well" card. It was a "Happy Trail Mix Day" card. He and all the kids had signed it. He had to put the flowers in a vase from me, though, because I didn't feel up to getting up.

I absolutely love my family and their creativity.

 

While I was sick, Jet came to me and put his hands on my eyes and said, "Close your eyes and go to sleep," then he sang, "Rockabye Baby," to me. What a cutie.

College Girl

She was a little girl when I started this blog (Jet's age). Then she grew up and went off to college. 

We were not ready for her to go, literally and emotionally. I am so proud of her.

Jet is such a big helper to his sister.

 

I definitely cried the day we dropped her off at school. Little did I know she would come home almost every weekend after that. We just kept having things happen that she could be involved in- trips and activities. I am glad she lives so close. I lived 1 or 2 states away from my parents when I went off to college so it really is different.

I got pictures of the boys on their first day of school so I made Nichole send me a picture of her on her first day of school.

I love my girl!
