May was a busy month, full of end-of-year concerts, the 8th grade promotion ceremony and family time. Here's a quick peek at our May highlights:
Henry took full-time orchestra this year, which meant he played with high school students. Their final orchestra concert was incredible!
So glad my parents were able to come to the performance!
Photo bomber Will.
Empty Bowls at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft returned after a two-year hiatus. It was so good to be back and get some more bowls for our growing collection.
And Henry finished 8th grade! We didn't get to have an 8th grade recognition ceremony for Will, so this felt extra special. We are so very proud of this kiddo!
We celebrated Pop's 80th birthday
and took a goofy picture of the cousins that involved a long exposure and them running to get to the other side of the room. Double the trouble for sure!
Another celebration -- our 18th anniversary! We went to a farm dinner at Atkinson Farms.
Beautiful blackberries at the farm
But we've had a good number of caterpillars this year!
We pull the caterpillars inside when we can so the chrysalises are protected from wasps.
Cuddly kitties
And sailing -- Gene occasionally takes long lunch breaks to go sail!
And now school's out and it's officially summer break!
