Mother's Day at Mimi's

Today we enjoyed our Mother's Day celebration at Mimi's house. It was a beautiful day, and we enjoyed spending time on Mimi's new patio!

Tyler's Band Concert

Last night was the end of the year Fine Arts Festival, so Jamie and I went to see Tyler play his trumpet. It was really amazing how much the kids learned in their first year of playing!

Anyone see Tyler?

Today was a very sad day for our family. We had to say goodbye to our beloved dog, Bobo. Bobo was a part of our family for the past 12 years. Bobo was a very loyal and obedient dog - we will miss him very much.
