And this guy turned 45 this week..............we had a wonderful family celebration........

House Changes

for before pics of the bathroom.......




I haven't posted because I have been in a massive frenzy!! (ok, what's new about that), but it all started a few weeks ago when we moved T's bedroom to the basement bedroom from upstairs with the rest of us............he has been begging to do it for years and we told him he had to be 18.......(outside entrance, etc) Anyway, that led to E. wanting his old room............which had to be painted and such..........which led to J. wanting E.'s old room...... Who do you think did the majority of all this work???? ME!!! And it was exhausting because the CRAP I had to throw away, give away.............my children are NOT neat freaks. I have 23 bags to go to goodwill and the trash can is overflowing right now. Everybody is very happy though in their new spaces........and I even have an empty bedroom upstairs that I hope to get a new guest bed in sometime soon. Chris is almost done with the downstairs bathroom and it is looking amazing..........I'll try to post pics. of E's new room soon. It is very minimalist.......her new thing.......and actually I am envious of how put together she has it all.........at the moment.

Perfect Saturday and Married 20 Years this Week

We had such a great day yesterday...........I went with my friend Sheryl to Millmont Nurseries in Stuart's Draft.......the Mennonite nursery.........and we had such a great time getting such beautiful plants. Chris worked on the new bathroom and got a ton done...........(my Valentine's present).........I worked in the yard on a beautiful day......after a great trail walk with Chris and our puppy.........and then we went to the Heart Ball.......(American Heart Association Ball) at Boars Head Inn and actually had a great time. The funniest thing was standing the bathroom sitting room with about 5 women chatting it up when the door flings open and I hear my husband say, "Tana Taylor, get my wife and ya'll come out of there".........we all died laughing at him doing that, but as he said...........we were taking too long...........and he wanted to dance. Now for a lazy Mother's Day!!

Senior Night and last CHS Lacrosse game ever for T

Doesn't listen to his mother......

The first of many 18 year old boy things I can't control!

Senior Sunday

They honored the seniors at church this morning. The parents made memory boards for each senior and wrote a letter ..........which they read during a potluck brunch before church. They had a slide show and of course I sent the cutest baby pics in. I cried...........all the mom's cried. It was really sad........I will miss these kids.......life's milestone changes are sure hard...

They Won!
