Day 142 - May 22
The girls had their end of the year awards ceremony for Awana. Both of the girls did very well - we started late in the year and yet Amelia finished 1/2 of her first book and Ava finished one entire book and got through the first 1/4 of the second book!
Day 143 - May 23
Here is a recent family portrait that Ava drew. Notice how I am dressed in a muumuu and Ava has drawn herself, well, shall we say in a voluptuous manner? :-)
Day 144 - May 24
Gorgeous butterfly I shot through the window in our bedroom
Day 145 - May 25
Rosie looks like she's been attacked and is lying here dead! But instead, this was to document my first foray into shaving her. If you go online, a great battle wages about whether to shave your Pyrenees or not. But with temperatures getting warmer, I decided to try it and see how she does. This was about half-way through the shave. I did not take an after picture, though, because I did not want to embarrass Rosie with my poor shave job.
Day 146 - May 26
Speaking of shave jobs, this one was a much better job because I took Nicky in to have it done at the vets! Every year, Nicky is very lazy about grooming himself and usually, come spring time, he is one big mat of fur. So, I take him in, they give him a little sleepy medication, and he comes back looking like this! Not so pretty but oh so much more comfortable! Notice his little poochy belly - he is not missing any of his mealtimes, obviously.
Day 147 - May 27
Ava's last day of school! She is posing here with her 2nd grade teacher, Mrs. B. Her teacher this year was a much different personality than last year's teacher and it was interesting to see how Ava did under the different teaching styles. She did very well and yet was excited for summer to begin! Here are her first and last day of school pics side by side:
A little bit hard to see a comparison because I didn't take the shot at exactly the same spot but you can see her face has changed some and her hair is definitely longer!
Day 148 - May 28
The day before we left for Turks & Caicos on vacation, Rosie turns up limping badly on her front leg. So a quick trip into the vet assured us it was just a sprain but on the way to the vet, Rosie couldn't help but sneak her head out the sunroof to get some fresh air!
Next week's pictures should be FUN because we were in Turks & Caicos all week! Can't wait to share some with you...
