May Happenings

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile, but I wanted to update you on what's been going on. The pictures did not upload the way I wanted and I couldn't move them, so this post is out of order. On the 15th Rob graduated from seminary. It was a great day, we went lunch at his favorite sandwich shop in deerfield and then went to a bakery to "kill" time. The bakery was so nice and and had the tastiest treats. As we were finishing eating Brian Urlacher walked in with his family. I was so excited but when I made eye contact with him I could tell he was dissappointed that I knew who he was. So I played it cool. I could tell he wanted to be normal. But how exciting! A great graduation present to my husband. Rob told the story so great at encounter sunday night, you should listen to it on the podcast. There is a video on facebook of Rob walking on stage. You can check that out also if you want. We then headed to CiCi's for dinner with the family. What a great day! Last year at this time I didn't know how we would make through the year, with Rob's school and work schedule I was afraid I wouldn't ever see him. But God was so good and I realize it wasn't so bad after all.

The Graduate
The Penner Girls sent this: It is a mug of flowers that looks like beer and says "Cheers to the graduate" Thanks Girls! We miss you!

Rob and Ben went on a date to the Cubs game. They had a Blast. Ben had relish for the first time and really liked it, he said "it was very sour, but good"

Go Cubs Go!

On April 28th we had the Awana closing ceremony, this was Addie's last year in Cubbies, it's hard to believe she will in Sparks next year.

I had a great Mother's Day the kids gave me some great gifts, sudoku books, candle holders, homemade cards. Rob gave me roses and a date night. The kids wrote such nice things in their cards. Addie said "Mom , I love you so much, I cover her with love, you are so special, I love you because you protect me. Ben wrote " I like her, she is so beautiful, she does alot of stuff for me and she takes me outside. Cam doesn't talk much but I know he loves me alot! Addie made a cute treasure map at school with her picture on it also. Here is a picture of my mother's day loot.
