Cooling Off

It was a hot day last Monday when we went to the park, so afterwards we had otter pops with the Phairs.

Gone

Well, we got up EXTREMELY early today and took Sydney to the surgical center and she had her tooth removed. The doctor and nurses said she was really good until she woke up from the anesthesia and then she was MAD! She screamed at us all the way home and it continued until about half an hour ago. Now, she's just laying on our bed, snuggling with Charles. What a trooper.

Back

I always get nervous about blogging while we are out of town. But, we're back from our ten day trip to Nebraska. We went to two graduations, celebrated Mother's Day, went apartment searching in Lincoln, attended a few concerts and took a trip to the zoo. It was a nice break and I will post our pictures and more in the next few days.

We threw a little graduation dinner for Chelsea. Here are some candy graduation caps I made. Sadly, they started to fall apart during dinner.

Baccalaureate

I went to Chelsea's baccalaureate on Thursday night. It was just the way a baccalaureate should be, short and sweet.

The best part was hearing West High Singers sing. Eight years ago, I wore those robes.
