"Nothing you do for children is ever wasted. They seem not to notice us, hovering, averting our eyes, and they seldom offer thanks, but what we do for them is never wasted."

Busy as a bee.... It's been hectic on our end here the past few weeks. Parrish had his 1st communion and Science fair 2 wks. ago. I decided not to have the party at my house but instead had it at our favorite place, Saffron. We had family and guests that came from Detroit and Dallas. Having them in the house for 1 week alone was already a party. But we had a blast and that is all that matters. I'm still trying to recover from that, Spring concert last week and now have to deal with end of the school year activities. Classes end on June 5th (with Latin America as the year end festival theme) but both kids have field trips after field trips and I had volunteered as a driver/chaperone. Off to the Curious Kids Museum and a picnic along Lake Michigan in St. Joseph for Aspen and the Dillon's horse farm for Parrish. It will be very exciting indeed. I am now trying to coordinate their Summer schedule especially since we will be spending time in Dallas, Texas for a month in July. Both have been taking tennis lessons since they were 3 and are not willing to give it up. So I have enrolled them for tennis in Texas, too. Their private swim lessons are year round so no chances of dropping that. Piano lessons I was going to drop but their teacher decided to teach this Summer so that will be retained, too. Plus, Mad Science camps and Binder Park Zoo camps. Busy we will be. Their time will be occupied. At least it will keep them from getting in trouble. I will attempt to load pics from their swim class and tennis match. I still have to figure out how to load it from my Iphone into this site. Oh well, I never claimed I was adept at this. LOL. In the meantime I have lost my husband in the shuffle. LOL...He's been so busy that we finally decided to have dinner at the hospital cafeteria tonight. I got tired of being interrupted during dinner time and for him to leave for the hospital every night the past few weeks that we decided to have a picnic there, basket and all. The kids thought it was cool. Hospital food was not an option so I had ordered out, put it in a basket and off we went. I take what I can get with my husband's time. Life is too short,  I say pick your battles.

P.S. Sorry, I attempted to post my pics in my album but pics are appearing too big and I don't know how to resize them. LOL...pics are in the album.
