May Fun

I was a chaperone for Caylie's 2nd grade field trip to the zoo.  I had only these three kiddos with me, and we had a fun time.

Jim and I went to our first Servant Appreciation Party at Calvary Aurora.  It was an 80s theme, so Jim and I managed to get into our school jackets for the occasion!  Lots of fun.  😊

There was a photo booth at Calvary Aurora for Mothers' Day Weekend.  These photos taken on Saturday night. 
Caylie and I took the first one when the boys were scattered around the church, and I didn't think we'd get another one!

Later we tried a photo with Tessa and Elias, but that one didn't go so well.

Elias, Brittany, Tessa, and Brad

And here I am with all my kids!  (A rare photo!)

My cute grandbabies.  Tessa was trying to kiss Elias, but he wasn't too happy about it.

The last day of Community Bible Study.  This day is officially called "Sharing Day", but I affectionately refer to it as "Eating Day".  There is a LOT of yummy food!  

Elias in his Muncle Keelan's hat.

Our friends, the Ndibongos were here from South Africa!  We hadn't seen them in several years.  It's fun to catch up with long-time friends who are family.  The Dwyers were here too, and Brad and Brittany, though they missed the photo.

Samuel always gets up way too early on the weekend.  This photo taken mid-morning, haha.

Justin had his last Concert Band and Jazz Band concerts of the year.  

Concert Band videos:
"Terracotta Warriors"

"Congolese"

Jazz Band videos:

"Bill On the Grill"

"Cool Joe, Mean Joe, Killer Joe"

Caylie making some muffins for dinner.  I forgot to get photos on her "gotcha" day, known to us as "Caylie Day", on May 19.  She has been in our family for FIVE years now!

Caylie and Tessa have been taking dance lessons at Miller's Dance studio this year.  Caylie takes ballet and tap on Saturdays and Tessa takes ballet on Thursdays.  They both have recitals coming up in June, and recently got their dance outfits for the occasion.  Here they are on photo day.

Caylie loves our little friend Azariah!  

The Copperleaf neighborhood pool is almost ready for summer!
