TJ getting ready for highschool

Orientation day at the high school.  It is official.  He had his student ID done and has a schedule.  He actually got B lunch which is 12 in the afternoon.  Lucky freshman.  He feels he has an easy schedule.  That is a good thing.  Not excited about getting up early, but happy to hang with friends again.  He has gotten some tips from his sister to prepare for the year.  I can't believe I have two freshman.  The time flew by soooo quick.  I know Ted is smiling and will be with them on their journey.  Good luck!

My birthday with pretty flowers from Brad

Even though turning 48 is not something I am thrilled about, these flowers arriving at 10:00 this morning gave me a smile and has made my day.  Thank you Brad.  You know what melts my heart.  I was spoiled rotten by my wonderful family with presents and dinner of my choice.  Wild Chef of course.  Thank you mom and dad for awesome presents, beautiful card and of course, amazing dinner.  The fine chocolates from my dad always make for an excellent dessert.  My kids also did an amazing job, with clothing and jewelry and even a GVSU mug from my daughter that says GVSU Mom on it.  I will enjoy all the wonderful presents and enjoy these beautiful roses for weeks to come.  Since my college daughter is in her first day of classes today, we may Skype her tonight to top off my birthday.
