Jr/Sr

Emilee's school has an event for juniors and seniors, its kind of like a prom without dancing. A catered meal, a band and then they have an after party in their gym, with lots of fun games and activities, door prizes. Its the social event of the junior year. Emilee and I spent the afternoon together, she had her toenails done to match her dress, she got an 'up-do', we went to Belk and she had her make up done, a real fun spa day to get ready for this special evening. Emilee even washed her truck before school this morning to get ready for the big event! Sara came in and got to see Emilee right before she headed off with her good friend, Hallie - Two girls out on the town!

Another grad

This morning Taylor and I have been cleaning out some cabinets. I ran across Sara's high school graduation picture and just had to take the opportunity to post it since I just posted Taylor's. Isn't Sara beautiful? Now she will be a mom soon and will be saving pictures just like these of her own child's before she knows it.

School Pics

Taylor will be graduating from kindergarten next month - her school makes a big deal about this, complete with cap and gown ceremony. Next year, the big time, first grade :)

Spring Break

Taylor has been off this week and she's enjoyed a day with some good friends, but she's had to spend a lot of time supervising her parents as we work, she says what we do is pretty boring but has been really good about letting me help Tom with a big project he has to complete. She took a break from woodworking to work on her princess persona (not that she needs a lot of practice). This shot was taken as she practiced her royal wave - thanks, Sara for the gloves. We're hoping to end out her break with a trip to Sara's and a little shopping :)

Busy Week - Adding a Goat?

So, yesterday afternoon Sara calls me to say she and Chuck are getting a goat?! And that Chuck had to work today and she was going to go buy it by herself. Well, this adventure sounded too good to pass up and besides, how was Sara going to go buy a goat and get it home by herself, I asked. So Taylor and I jumped in the car and drove to Goochland last night so we could help. There was a farmer's market type event especially for people who wanted to sell farm animals. There were chickens of all types and sizes, bunnies, geese, ducks, a sheep, and yes, a couple goats. Sara chose this cute young goat named Lightening and bargained hard for him. He has been raised like a puppy and is so gentle and loving and spoiled. Chuck put their dog cage in their car before he left for work. Sara bought the goat and it road home in the cage right beside Taylor in the backseat. When we got him home, we cleaned out the chicken coop so he could share living quarters with the four 'girls' until Chuck completes the fence he'd already started. He is going to have to work double time now LOL. We played with the goat for awhile, went out and bought him goat food, and Taylor and I came home and went grocery shopping where Emilee is working and went through her line so we could say hi, and well done :) Our family is growing by leaps and bounds, just didn't know it was going to include a goat!
