Graduation is 5 weeks from today. A lot has happened since my last post.

I had started a few posts over the months and never finished them now they don't even seem newsworthy enough to post them. I will sum them by saying Chris finally finished his research project and passed all his classes.

April was a very busy month. Nichole, Caitlyn and Riley came for a visit Easter weekend. We got to meet Jeff, Nichole's new beau. He seems like a really nice guy. She is very happy, too. Caitlyn also brought her friend Cheyanne. Of course that was also the weekend that Chris was doing his Eagle Scout project so we didn't get to see much of them. Friday night we went out for Pizza at CiCi's and then came home for ice cream and cake to celebrate Caitlyn and Chris's birthdays a little early. Saturday they went shopping and seeing the sights while we were at the church doing Chris's project. They went to a concert at Billy Bob's Saturday night but Riley stayed home with us since he isn't old enough to go to BB's. He and Chris hung out playing video games. Easter morning I was up at the crack of dawn to go up to church and help with the sunrise service breakfast. The kids came to the service and then had to leave after breakfast. I only got one picture.

So Chris started his Eagle project that weekend and we ended up finishing the following weekend. 3 days before his 18th birthday. Talk about down to the wire. But it is done and I am so very proud of him. He kept telling me not to worry but you know how mother's are. The pictures tell the story.
