Memorial Day!

 Summer is off to a great start! This weekend we had our friends and family over for a couple pool parties. Mom was not too great about catching all the memories. Fortunately, dad managed to snap a few photos. The girls had fun with all the kids, Abigail's favorite is taking care of DC when he's here. Dad and mom just enjoy sitting by the pool at this point because it is so cold still!

Much Love,

Last Day of School!

 Another school year has come to a close and for Abigail it was the first semi-normal last day of school since her first grade year. In her second grade year the schools closed suddenly due to the massive flood in Fort Smith and third grade was COVID year. So even though they were still masked up at least she got to have a real last day! Allison was sad to say goodbye to her teacher, Mrs. Blazic, but is looking forward to a great summer. We celebrated the last day of school with dinner at HCC and those are not their drinks!

Getting Golf Ready

 The girls got their golf uniforms today in preparation of their first golf tournament in the next couple weeks. What started as a fashion show quickly turned into silly antics by these to girls!

Goodbye the Lakehouse

It’s been an extremely emotional two days saying goodbye to the house that has been the catalyst for so many memories. Just finished up day 2 of packing and sitting in the living room, all I can think about are the little kids performing and jumping off the fire place and baby Allie laughing so hard. Now Allie is older than the ‘little kids’ were at the time. It has been the lake house, a resting place, a party house, “The Lake Castle”. Even though we haven’t used the house in the last few years as often as we did at the beginning it is still a special place. There have been more than a few tears shed and not just by yours truly. The house was a place that made you feel a sense of relaxation as soon as you stepped through the door. A place that we used to escape when the world dished some very painful blows. The brilliant quality of memories is that they become a part of you and while their brilliance fades over time the emotions of the sentiments do not.

Packing up the Lakehouse

 BB and Papa are selling the lakehouse at the end of this month and have to be out of the house by the end of this month, which means we headed down to start packing up the house and its 8 years of memories. Papa was diagnosed with lymphoma earlier this month so he and BB had to focus on his recovery. Our little family headed down Thursday night with a trailer of empty boxes to start packing. We focused on the living room and kitchen this weekend with plans to go back next weekend to finish up and move out by the 27th. The girls helped pack, but also took time to go swimming and Allison organized an impromptu tea party with the stuffed animals. We also managed to take a trip to Yao Fuzi for some delicious Chinese food and drinks. The girls each had their own order of soup dumplings and started practicing eating with chopsticks. 

Much Love,

Field Day!

 It's almost the end of another school year, which means Field Day! This was Allison's first field day and Abigail has always told her how Field Day is the best day of the school year. We decided to volunteer to help out with all the "stations" as a surprise to the kids. Due to COVID our opportunities to see them during the school day has been very limited. This was one of the only times parents have been allowed on premises and both girls were so excited to see us. We loved helping out!

Much Love,

Mother's Day Weekend

 This weekend we celebrated all the awesome mothers in our life. We kicked off Mother's Day with dinner at HCC with BB on Friday. Then dad and the girls surprised mom with bouquets of flowers. Saturday and Sunday morning daddy cooked mommy's favorite potato and egg tacos with mimosas and we dined al fresco. Daddy continued the gourmet treatment with one of mom's favorite dinners, seafood linguini. Sunday, the girls swam and we watched. There was no swimming for the adults! It was far too cold. Sunday evening BB came over for dinner and time with the girls. Mom thinks this was the best Mother's Day she's ever had and is so very lucky to have such a wonderful husband and daughters.

Much Love,
