Parents' Raise

We spent 13 hours in the car this past weekend! Matthew and I will spend many an hour playing our "Guess that Station" Pandora game this summer with all of our road trips planned (no we aren't boring old people by the way, we are actually like fun elementary school aged children!)
Yet, the long hours this weekend were worth it to see Sarah Jane graduate from UNC! She's off to save the world with her nursing degree. And maybe have a little party (sorry, I'm on a poetry unit at work right now).
When asked how excited my mom and Scotch were to have finally helped their 5 children get through college, Scotch joyously responded, "We got a raise today! It feels great!"

I'm so proud of Sarah, and we are blessed to have been a part of her big day. She's worked so incredibly hard, and I hope she enjoys the "real world" everyone keeps talking about. Can I have free medical procedures now that we have a nurse in the family?

Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Mr. Flately's Dance: "Lord of the Dance is an Irish musical and dance production that was created, choreographed, and produced by Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley, who also took a starring role. Michael Flatley found his first fame starring in Riverdance, but he left the show in 1995 before its debut in London after a disagreement over creative control. F

When you smile...

The whole world smiles! This was his very first "conscious smile" Who says you can't dress up little boys for fun too? Silas enjoyed sleeping at the lake instead of fishing or swimming. Anyone surprised? Our newest pastime consists of singing to Silas until he shows us his new array of smiles. Matthew discovered this newest ability when he began singing a classical ballad... I won't embarrass him by naming the lyrics. It doesn't matter how tired you are, this will make everything better! I mean come on. Are you still having a bad day? Did that make it better yet!? Had my  first few outing without the little man to go to coffee, dance, and this beautiful woman's wedding shower. Love you Christi! Thanks to my old roomie for some over-sized coffee mugs to start my day right. A cup of joe and the Word make life worth living. This is his favorite gesture.  I think he's solving the world's problems. That a boy Silas. I knew
