Jeff's graduation

Jeff graduated from North Shore Community College on Thursday. He graduated with honors from the Physical Therapy Assistant program. He earned his Associates Degree. It was amazing being there, I was proud, but nothing compared to how his family felt. I have known him for such a short time. Here are some pictures.

Jeff and me:
You may have noticed we all had similar shirts. I found a website that made physical therapy shirts, Julianna's says "My Daddy is a Physical Therapist", his Mom's says "My son is a Physical Therapist", Jackie's says "I love my physical therapist" and mine says "My heart belongs to a Physical Therapist". I also got him a "Physical Therapist" shirt. We had signs, we held up
J-E-F-F when he walked in, then when he saw us (and turned bright red and shook his head) we flipped them over and it said W-E-(heart)-U. He was blown away. He was completely surprised, he said we made his graduation awesome. He also said that we made his graduation so special that he didn't even miss his dad, that he didn't get sad. I think that was the most important, and we weren't even aiming for that!

May is here!

May is here, a fantastic month but always a busy busy one. From now until the end of May is going to be like a race tothe finish line. Last Saturday was Julie's birthday! Yeah Julie, the big 31! On Sunday it is Mother's Day and my birthday. Yeah me, the big 33. I already got my birthday / mother's day present from Julie in the mail. She said I could open it early or I could wait until Sunday. The box is from Sephora, and as tempted as I am to open it, I am going to try to save it. I like to have something to open on my birthday, and I love to look at it and imagine what amazing things Julie has picked out for me that are inside. I have no plans this weekend besides church. Jeff has said that he will come to church, and of course we will have Julianna. We are having a cookie walk after church to raise money for the church scholarship. Following that big day, May 15 is My BFF Cheryl's birthday, Jeff has court for child support from Julianna's mother and it is the Art Show at Bates, and Alison has a picture in it!!! Nana's spring concert with the choral soceity is the 18th. The 22nd is my busy busy busy day. Alison's Oma is flying in at 5:05 to visit for the weekend, Alison is in a Fashion Show at her school for her afterschool program at 6, and Jeff is graduating college at 6. How on earth we are going to work it all out I have no idea. The morning of the 23rd is Alison's Memorial Day show at school at 9am.
