Caroline and Joseph's Last Day of MDO

We celebrated your "last" day of MDO today with a drive-by goodbye to your teachers at JB!  They gave you a folder filled with some handprint art, pictures of you, and some other artwork.  They also gave you a beach ball, some suckers, and some watercolor paint.  It was so good to see them!  We have been missing them while we've been quarantined, and we're going to continue missing them this summer!  

After we left JB, we drove to Mimi and Pop Pop's house.  You guys wanted to show them what you got from your teachers.  Wearing your masks, you all were able to hug them for the first time since Mommy's birthday.  It brought tears to my eyes to see!

After a nice visit, we picked up Chic-fil-A and had a picnic at home.  What a great day!

Teacher Gift for Mrs. Driesse and Mrs. Watlington

Mommy wanted to do something special for Mrs. Driesse and Mrs. Watlington since we couldn't be at school to celebrate Teacher Appreication Week.  I asked the parents of your classmates to send a picture of their child to me holding an assigned letter.  I then took these pictures and made a collage and you gave it to them today.  They loved it, and I hope they felt how much we all appreciate them and love them!  We also gave them beach bags from us filled with a few fun summery things.

Catherine adores her teachers, and as a mama, I am so thankful for them.  She has grown so much this year because of them, and they have taken such good care of her.  We will definitely miss them next year!

Mother's Day 2020

What a beautiful Mother's Day weekend!

On Friday, Mr. Tony came by and gave me a dozen roses for Mother's Day.  What a sweet surprise!  Definitely made my day!

 On Saturday, we went visit Granny in Thibodaux.  We visited her through the window again, and it was so good to see her.  It was tough trying to communicate over the phone, but we still had a wonderful visit.  That afternoon, we all went to Mimi and Pop Pop's house, along with your cousins, and gave them their rocking chairs for Mother's Day (and Father's Day!).  They look great on their front porch!  We had a nice visit social distanced in their front yard.

On Sunday, it wasn't the typical Mother's Day, and I didn't get to hug my mom, but it was still beautiful!  Michael and the kids gave me this beautiful statue of St. Francis of Assissi to put outside, along with some Air Pods and a small dust buster for the closet. ;)

We all went for a jog this morning in our neighborhood.  Then we went see Teita and Jeddo and ate a picnic lunch I packed in their driveway.  After naps, we picked up crawfish from Say Say's that Uncle Will boiled, and we brought some to Mimi and Pop Pop and had a quick visit with them.  

Today was so special because of my three GREATEST GIFTS- Catherine, Joseph, and Caroline, YOU ARE FOREVER THE BEST THING I'VE EVER ACCOMPLISHED AND I LOVE YOU MORE THAN WORDS CAN DESCRIBE.  You are my heart.  I am so blessed and thankful to be your Mommy.

Catherine made me a corsage to wear.

Thank you for my beautiful picture Caroline!
