Happy Memorial Day!

A friend and I were talking the other day and discussing the craziness of the month of May. She made an excellent comment that May is just as crazy as the month of December.

With all the Mother’s Day Tea’s, End of Year programs, dance recitals, and ballgames…our schedule is just simply jammed packed.

This past week was was such a whirl-wind. With Hunter’s preschool graduation, Dallas catching a stomach bug {yuck}, her dance recital and dress rehearsal, and school stuff, and purchasing a new car, we were running from here to yonder every day non stop, and this mama was t.i.r.e.d.!

The end of and era hit our house this week. Hunter, our “baby”, graduated preschool. He will start kindergarten in July and I cannot wrap my mind around this. But none-the-less, preschool payments and short mornings away have ended, and his preschool did such a great job with their graduation.

I’m one proud mama of my “little man”.

After graduation, it was time to switch gears from Hunter to Dallas. She had her dress rehearsal for her dance recital and then recital on Saturday. She is such a great dancer. We laugh all the time because she is the child who absolutely hates attention on her. She does not like to bring any attention her way…except when it comes to dancing. That girl loves a stage! She turns into a different person when she’s up there. She’s all smiles and loves every minute of it!

I couldn’t be more proud of this girl!!!

What a great way to start Memorial Day weekend. Having family in town to help us celebrate two great accomplishments of our children.

I hope y’all have had a great Memorial Day weekend as well. But, let us not forget why we celebrate this weekend. Yes, dance recitals, graduations, and ball games are all exciting and fun, but we have this extra day off work to enjoy with our families for a reason….today we celebrate our veterans. He honor them and remember them, for it is they who keep this country safe and free so that we may enjoy fun times with our families.

So, as you head out to the lake, pool, or cook-outs with friends, take a moment and teach your children why we get to celebrate this day.

Let us NEVER forget those who fight for our freedom…our VETERANS.
