Seriously....we are now meeting ourselves coming and going. Since mid-April, it seems we've had something every minute...so hold on for the ride and I'll try to give you a quick overview...
Easter came. We participated in our church Easter Egg hunt and cantata. Also went to Nana and Papa's for lunch and another egg hunt. McKenzie and McKayla shopped and chose their own dresses. Madison, Randy and I had to wear black (yes...black) at the request of our choir director!
(
above....they borrowed Nana's shoes)
Madison got her intermediate driver's license. She was selected as Governor's Scholar. She went on a trip with the band to Virginia Beach. She attended orientation for the Kentucky State Outstanding Teen Pageant and she is preparing to participate in the Junior Miss Program.
Oh...and she went to prom last weekend. Now I know that only looks like three sentences but if you can only imagine how much preparation, time, energy, money and DRAMA went into ALL of these events.....well, I guess you all know since you all know Madison (and me...I admit it).
(I think I am learning to use the new camera...a little better...)
While Madison was gone to Virginia Beach, we let McKenzie and McKayla decide what they wanted to do. They chose to go to the farm, spend the night at the cabin, go fishing and then the next day go to the lake. What a pair of SMART girls!
When we spent the night at the farm, Randy and I got up early and hid out in my dad's hunting blind where I got to take some photos of wild turkeys.
In the thick of all this, we lost Benji. He was killed by a car last Saturday night.
We've all cried until we can't anymore. We buried him in the back yard at 2:00 a.m. in the morning in the rain. We plan to plant a weeping willow tree beside him. McKayla made a sweet memorial for him with rocks, shells and twigs. Everyone misses him including Kiya, Lady Maye and Crystal.
In closing, I hope all of you are doing well. With summer coming, I plan to see some of you soon and I can't wait. I wish we could all get together soon. The things I cherish most in life are memories of good times with my friends and family...and I thank all of you for those. I pray God gives us all time to love and forgive all we are capable of.
Love,
Kim
