MAYbe our busiest month

and my longest post ever...

wrap it in bubbles,seal it with tape. May ended our Cleveland tenure. Whew - what a ride... 4 years,3 moves, 1 baby, lots of tears, lots of laughs, trail and error, God's tender mercies time and time again, many beautiful people that enriched me, loved me and extended a hand. I do have regrets, mostly I was not a pretty picture. Deeply grateful for my faith in a God of Atonement. I want to be better than I am. I have learned much,I still have much to learn. Just a sampling of some of the coolest people in the world... I will miss you. (note:remember Redwood Tree Root analogy Delta Stacey shared in church)

Ms.Bridi's Preschool

Cole attended Ms. Bridi's Preschool in September 2010. He joined 7 others every Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00-11:00am. Cole enjoyed school - especially playing with friends,creating, and learning from Ms.Bridi. Ms. Bridi prepared lessons to impress - seasonal art & crafts,water bottle aquarium,fruit cup octopus, a pot of stone soup. Incredible woman, incredible fun.

Moving Day

Thursday, May 12th the Moving Company arrived, the Military moved our goods this round thank the heavens. The crew arrived at 9AM and were gone by 4PM. They were quick and so efficient they packed my face wash,used bar soap and my toothbrush. I will enjoy unpacking my toiletries when we arrive at Wright Patt. Thursday night my parents arrived in CLE for the graduation festivites. We ate a wonderful meal, then went back to the empty pad to camp out in borrowed sleeping bags.

Graduation Weekend

Trent's parents arrived in Cleveland Friday, May 13. We spent the early part of the day cleaning the house, My parents got wrapped into that, thanks for your help! We spent the evening swimming and getting a bite to eat. We celebrated Papa's birthday and enjoyed being with the people we love the most in this world. On Saturday we wanted to get in one last game. Jake had been asking to go to the ballgame for weeks. Well, that rain came down and the floods came up. However we spent a cloud at the "souvie" shop.

Graduation Day - May 15, 2011

"One Day" finally arrived. We awoke early, stuffed the vehicles we the last of our goods, snapped some photos then waved goodbye to Revere road. I was so anxious to get to graduation I drove off leaving Trent in the driveway. I stopped the car after taking a right turn, called the parents to see if the GRADUATE was in their car. Oops! The graduate had been left behind. The Jannuzzi's watched our children, thank you thank you! Our parents,Trent and I attended drove the commencement luncheon then visited with friends prior to the ceremony. The commencement ceremony was held in Cleveland at the Church of the Covenant on Euclid Ave. The historic cathedral is beautiful. The ceremony was pinnacle and celebratory. United States Military Officer ceremony followed. Congratulations Dr. T.

We concluded the day with a 3 hour ride south on the 71 to Dayton, our new home. Monday was spent visiting the United States Air Force Museum. Our Dad's were in HEAVEN! This is a place to put on your map. We snapped some photos the Wright Brother's Huffman Field and spent time showing off our new local.
