On Saturday, April 28, we headed to UCF to help Landon move most of his stuff home for the summer. He wouldn't have to do this except that he's changing rooms. So, he has a two-week period where everything has to be out of the old room and can't be in the new room. Ugh! It's been wonderful having him home, though.
The next Saturday, May 5, we celebrated Chase's 14th birthday. Doesn't seem possible! It was very weird not having her friend Sarah with us that day as usual, but Chase is blessed to have made a couple of new friends at Cross Point. So, she invited Faith over for the day!
We went out to eat at Pepe's as we always have Mexican food on Chase's birthday. We convinced her that this was a necessity when she was about three or four!
The next weekend was Mother's Day. Landon took us all to see the Avengers on Saturday night while Carys played at a friend's house. We picked her up, then he took us to Five Guys for supper. Landon and Chase really made an attempt to spoil me with gifts the next day, and they did a pretty good job. I got a scented candle for the kitchen and new couch pillows. Greg took us out to eat at Stumpknockers. Yum!
We finished the majority of our school on the Friday before Mother's Day. Chase is finishing her math. Gerren actually started next year's math - Thinkwell Calculus (which is two semesters of College Calculus) so that he can finish by early April and study to take the AP Calculus BC test in May. Carys finishes math today, but she will continue her phonics at a slower pace over the summer as we don't want to lose any ground. I plan for us to watch a lot of the streaming Netflix documentaries, etc. I have in my queue this summer. We never seem to get time for them during the school year.
This past weekend, Gerren and Chase went to the beach with the youth from church. We recently did a small group study called 40 Days in the Word. Any youth that completed the entire workbook and came to all the sessions (I think they could miss one), got a free overnight trip to Daytona. They had a good time but didn't use enough sunscreen. Sigh!
In less than three weeks, we're leaving for a family reunion in Illinois. I can't wait!

Don't give up blogging! Maybe you can get Chase to fill in? Does it seem that even as your kids are getting bigger, you still have even less time?
:)
I don't know if it's just the age of the kids, Kristine, or the abundance of new things to do all the time! :)
Enjoyed the catch up - yes, don't give up blogging. Even a monthly recap is great.
