Timeline of Recent Events

I hate it when I get behind on posting things. Last week was full of activity. Below are the highlights and pix.

4.29.10 || Danny's Birthday
Was one of his best birthdays ever. He was spoiled. Michael made him homemade ice-cream pie and got a thoughtful card. Lauren made a digital slideshow and got him 2 knock about rose plants (he's been wanting to plant roses). I made him his favorite ribs for dinner and will treat him to see a Skins' game this fall.

4.30.10 || Danny's Birthday Cook-out
We used Danny's birthday as an opportunity to invite friends, neighbors, church folk, soccer folk and anyone we knew well or just barely to come over and enjoy fun. Similar to our Christmas Open House, we had a nice variety of people come and go through out the evening.

5.1.10 || Prom for the 3 Amigos
Michael and two of his friends decided to go to prom with no dates. Who needs the hassle of a date when all you want to do is look good and eat the yummy snacks at prom? And yes, Michael is sporting a mohawk these days.

5.2.10 || Remembering Yen Snead
Its hard to believe it, but it was the 1st anniversary of my mother's death. I thought I would / should be emotional but I wasn't. I actually didn't really feel much, which made me feel guilty like I am a horrible unfeeling daughter. Life goes on. And I hate that my life is so full and blessed and I do forget about her or rather don't remember her with grief like before.

5.3-4.10 || A Little Roanoke Trip
Sunday I set out for Roanoke for a quick visit to see the other 1/2 of the Wine-Price girls, aka The Roanoke girls. My friend Jenn has just moved back and into a house and I was there to be her slave. No, not really. I wanted to help with unpacking and whatever I could, just like she and Zoe helped me when I moved into this house. It was a great visit with the Kidds and the Greers and the Meyers. There was a cookout, a Lacrosse game, cleaning, unpacking, interior design discussion, dinner out and then hang out time. Whew!
