And we're off! Heading down to the Summer Games for Special Olympics New Jersey. The Law Enforcement Torch Run began early this morning, winding its way through the state, meeting hundreds of runners in many townships, then arriving to light the cauldron tonight at the opening ceremonies where we will watch our team parade into the stadium. We are so excited! Pray for sunshine. LOTS of photos to follow.

Post-Prom Photos
It couldn't have been more perfect. A handsome young man and a pretty young girl going to their high school prom. They didn't know it, but their moms were sitting nearby watching all the dates parade in, then enjoyed a few hours in the lobby restaurant getting updates via text message from the guardian angels on the inside. From a distance they looked like every other couple, but we know it was much bigger than that. These are memories we will cherish always – as a family. How cute are they?
Peter couldn't be with us to see Sam and Brianna as he had to work but he got to see the tuxedo'd Sam before the carriage turned back into a pumpkin. His prom was three years ago, photos HERE.

milestone month
Look at that sweet face. Seems like yesterday that I set up the sheets, and wrangled the boys into the linen coat and saddle shoes, then took photos with real black and white film that I actually had developed.
Today I will be a photographer again….how many rolls of film would it take to cover this day? This month? All the memorable moments will be captured on a small piece of plastic inserted into my camera. How is that possible? And how is it possible that this little one will depart in a dapper tux, with a lovely girl, and attend his senior prom? I am a wreck. Full of joy but a bag of nerves for this big day. I was worried the fancy attire would be an issue but Sam tried it on and modeled for me like it was no big deal. Even the shiny shoes. I am wagering he might be the first on the dance floor. Yes, really. Crossing fingers that the chaperones text me every ten minutes as I sit with Brianna's mom in the hotel bar, anxiously waiting for reports. It's good to know the insiders.
Prom tonight. Special Olympics track meet next weekend. Graduation on the 21st. Milestones that fill us with pride. And happy tears. Pass the tissues.
I'll be back tomorrow with photos!

frondly yours
I just learned that Debris Journal is currently full for the event in July. *dances a jig* There is still room in Frond Chronicles. I've been working on another class sample….I am addicted to making and using these shapes, inspired by real plant life, with a little creative license.
See, even the wishes have *winks*. If you want to know more and are thinking of attending the event in New Jersey in July, visit the CREATE site HERE.
Thanks for all the birthday wishes. For me and for Shannon.
I'm heading home. See you in a week. *waves*

happy birthday to us
Whether you say Always Remembering You or Remembering You Always, it simply means you never stop thinking about someone. Especially when your heart is so filled with love. And sweet memories. And sister secrets. Especially because you are missing her. The day she left for heaven is significant, but the day she was born is the one to celebrate, especially if your share that same birthdate.
Roses fill the gardens. Roses fill the vases. Piles of cards and packages. Lots of joy here. I'm a lucky girl.
*blows kisses* xoxo
