My Robin's Babies

Graduation, family fun and car shopping!

Erik graduated from high school, May 23^rd with a 3.6 GPA. I am extremely proud of the work he put into his last year. He had a lot of fun, made some new friends and solidified the old. He is taking a quarter off from school (would not allow him a year-ha) and is planning to go to University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. He was set on going to Wyotech, however, we found a school here he may be interested in as well. I am working on thank you cards to send out, so if you are reading this...I haven’t forgotten! You know me and my creative drive....you will like them. I had to wait what seemed like forever to get the professional photo taken in which he received the diploma. Surprising mine did not turn out so well. =(

Erik’s grandparents flew in from Indiana and his dad came down from Frasier to celebrate. I am sharing a photo of Finnie, perched in the back seat as we arrived at DIA, she was so excited to meet her grandparents. Friday, May 22^nd was Erik’s Baccalaureate, which was an emotional moment for all of us. Along with his grandparents and my neighbors, we prayed for Erik to continue to look to God for guidance through his life, remembered Erik’s achievements in the last few years and remembered my father and the role he had in Erik’s life. Graduation was a bit more comical as the kids were allowed to have a little fun as they patiently waited to be handed their diplomas. For a Christian school; it was comical to see the girl walk across stage with toilet paper on her shoe or hear the kazoo and fart machine go off ~ all by the girls~ which is funny in itself.

Father’s day Erik totaled his truck. Thankfully no one was hurt. We are now in the process of ‘car hunting’ again, not something I wish to go through, after the first experience but hey, gotta have some comical relief, right?

Planning a trip in August through Utah to visit Arches, Zion and possibly Bryce National Parks and up into Wyoming for a visit to Yellowstone. I am thrilled to finally be able to get to both states as it’s been a plan since I moved here. Especially ~ Wyoming. Look for some photos in early September if all goes as planned.

Hope all is well in your lives ~ Smiles, Hugs and Blessings
