Gift #563- A Baseball Award

Jack received the highest GPA Award at his High School Sports Awards Banquet.  We won't go into the fact that he did not invite me to the banquet.  Cause that is a whole different story.  One that I could go on and on and on about Jack!  Good Job on the award though!  :0)

 I had the opportunity to attend a Coastal Skills Clinic at Hunting Island State Park!  I learned a lot about crabbing and fishing and even cast-netting!  I even held a snake!!!!  Jack said that I was hard core!  Yes!  I had a great time with some wonderful ladies and am proud of my new-found skills!

Gift #560- A Successful Surgery

 Bo's right hand before surgery!

 Bo's right hand a few weeks after surgery!  He was so excited when the doctor took off the cast!  He counted his five fingers and smiled so big!

 Bo getting ready for surgery.  All smiles!

 Bo LOVES to look at pictures of his bones.  

So I thought that I would just add these pictures for him to remember!

 Sam thought it would be funny to hide a few eggs in the toilet.  

Jack thought that it would be worth it to reach in and grab the eggs- it was candy after all!

Gift #553- Henry and his Undies Hat

Because if this is not a gift, I am not sure what is!  If there is a pair of undies within Henry's sight, they are going on his head.  The kid just can't help himself.
