April Showers of Fun and Memories
Posted By drsao on April 18, 2008
Sometimes there are months that are even MORE SPECIAL than others and April, 2008 is one of those months!
April started with the new MYSTERY QUILT from Bonnie Hunter – the Orange Crush – and believe it or not, that was exciting (almost like Christmas.) We are all now busily working on step two already!
Then there was the Wakefield Quilt Retreat AND the one day VA Scrappers Retreat…..more happy times…
APRIL 13 Sarah had her art work displayed in the Chesterfield County Arts and Sciences festival….a wonderful exhibit…see an earlier blog for a picture.
APRIL 16 Nanna turned 12 – whoo hoo – she is so much fun – funny – smart – and almost perfect (except when she puts toy worms in my bed!) What’s not to love! Her birthday pedicure and dinner with friends is tonight.
LOTS HAPPENED ON APRIL 17th
APRIL 17 Sarah and all of the 2nd Graders at her school put on a musical performance – TALES OF TEMPLES AND TOMBS…..it was wonderful. The kids had fantastic make-up and costumes (their collars were made in their art classes!) Sarah did a great job – such a sweetheart!
APRIL 17 Cooper registered for kindergarten – he was so excited. He wants to start elementary school today. He was all smiles – and he is looking forward to his parents going on a trip soon so that he can stay with me and have NO RULES!
AND – TA DA –
AND FINALLY, still on April 17, my parents celebrated 65 years of marriage! What an awesome accomplishment! They have produced four children, seven grandchildren and10 great grandchildren.
Here they are with their first two great grandchildren (Harry and Leanna) in 1997.
Leanna is the Nanna who just turned 12 and Harry is now 13!
Today is my brother’s birthday……a milestone birthday……1948 – 2008 – HMMMMM – he is now in the GREAT DECADE (with me!) From left to right are my brothers Fred and Dan, then me (SAO), Mother, Daddy, and the birthday boy – JIM!
Goodness – this month isn’t even over and a lot has happened to celebrate….and there is more to come!
APRIL 21 – grandangel Caden will turn 14. He is a dear, sweet, smart boy – but did he have to get taller than Grandma Shirley (this was taken in February in CA.) We have both changed a lot, haven’t we!
APRIL 24 Caden’s parents celebrate their anniversary!
April 23 and 24 Nanna will play the part of a mouse in her school play HERCULES…..and there just MIGHT be a picture later…….:)
Stay tuned because, you never know, May may be another one of those months….and June…..and maybe July……..I guess all months are special! :):)
