MEMORIAL DAY 2019

Earlier last week I attended a Memorial Day ceremony at work where the Colonel spoke and we laid flowers at a memorial he created for a local hero he'd known personally. It was a very moving ceremony and I was glad I was able to attend.

On Monday, I ran with my running group through the military park and city cemetery to see the Memorial Day flags:

LAST DAY 2019!

END OF YEAR SPLASH PARTY

(Testing out the swimsuit Gramma gave her to be sure it fits before packing it for school!)

SO CLOSE...

We're SO READY for the end of the school year... just one more day!

"A-B" HONORS

Cora made the "A-B" Honor Roll for the year!

SPRING RECITAL DANCE PORTRAITS

GIRL SCOUT BRIDGING PARTY

Cora put all her love and craziness into chocolate chip cookies for the Girl Scout end of year party:

The party was held at 601 FunZone and we had a great time running and jumping and ziplining!

(It was a Mad Hatter themed party)

After the playing we had our bridging ceremony. Cora bridged up to Junior level!

I love our girls :-)

BALLET MAGNIFICAT ALICE IN WONDERLAND

Ballet Magnificat also did Alice in Wonderland this spring, so Christina and I took Lauren and Cora to see their version in Jackson. It was very well done and we had a fun girls day out!

OUTDOORS FUN

ELG CAPITOL TOUR

Jay spent the week in DC with the Emerging Leaders Group. He met many VIPs throughout the Corps and DoD, visited the Pentagon and Capitol, went out to dinner (and an escape room and a very fancy whiskey bar) with his leadership group each night, and spent his last few hours in town at the National Zoo before catching the plane home. We missed him, but we're so glad he had this opportunity to make connections and learn as much as he could about our upper management.

Here are a few photos that he sent us, along with some that his colleagues shared on Facebook:
