Mick, Rich, Jacob, Kerri & Jonathan. Oh, my, our babies are all grown up and we are sooo proud! Thank you Lord Jesus!

Mick looking happy to have graduation offiial. He turned 18 a few days ago and is ready to .... We were amazed when Mick stood at graduation and gave one of the teachers the "Rocking Chair" award. After the ceremony we spent some time in the park and then went out to eat and wrapped up celebrating on the 20th of May.

Mick having too much fun with the webcam on his laptop!

Jonathan made this remark when he saw this sweater, "It looks like a peacock blew up on it."

Actually it's a sweater I made in the late 90's and wore to Bruce's commissioning. I was approximately the same time along in pregnancy with Mick and asked Kerri if she would like to wear this sweater to Jonathan's commissioning. She said she would pass. But I had to have a picture.

What a lovely couple!

Kerri looks delightful holding a friend's baby at her baby shower that Aunt Margaret held for her on the 20th of April at her home in Colorado Springs.



Mick and I surprised Kerri and Jonathan and drove out to Colorado on Saturday. Kerri is looking happy and radiant!

Kerri is holding a quilt that I whipped up for her baby boy - due August 23rd! By then Kerri and Jonathan will be settled into base housing in Wichita Falls, Texas - so maybe the quilt will not even be needed until very late in December - if even then.

Kerri is giving Aunt Shellye a thumb's up for the great outfits that she sent to baby Noah.

Yep, they are for a boy - I wonder if Aunt Shellye and Aunt Margaret will now be Great Aunt's??????

Yes, I already think my kids think of them as 'Great' Aunts!

Another quilt completed the end of March and sent off to Shellye. She has just the spot for it!

Rich turned 20 on the 28th of March - "whoohooo" he totally enjoyed his birthday. Mick & I went to Sumo with Rich and his buddy Chad.

Next we enjoyed his ice cream cake from the local DQ at home. I had no idea how much they liked the DQ cakes, to think of all the cakes I didn't really have to make:)



And at about 10 pm I watched Rich put his bedding in his car. The big day to live on his own had arrived and he was only too ready to make it happen. Lastly, I offered Rich a gallon of milk as he headed out the door to his own pad. At 20 it was really happening...

Already a month has gone by and Rich enjoys being out on his own.
