Week 16--So Much Ping-Pong

Monday, Apr. 15th

Trevor has all the senior things going on!  As I sit here today and type, his graduation is exactly 1 month away and I'm feeling all the feels.  

Senior Retreat:



Lots of tennis these days!

Nathanael finished him up his GRUELING tax season.  I have no idea how he juggles all he does.  It's quite remarkable.  Tina made him a cake to celebrate.  The title is a joke in our house.

Our precious Harlem had to have a routine corrective surgery.  He was in the best hands, but full antisthesia is still a thing.  I picked him and his mom up at 5:45am!


Everything went great!  He is not a fan of hospitals, machines that beep, or anyone dressed in all blue, but he did enjoy his popsicle in recovery.  Once settled back at home, he made huge daily improvements and bounced back quickly.

Meanwhile, my dad hosted a special Tea Party for the cousins visiting from Texas and anyone else that could make it.  I so appreciate the effort and intentionality they both put into everything they do for the grandkids.



The gang came to the match to support their brother on an absolutely beautiful New England spring day- the kind we wait all winter for.
Thankfully Trevor did NOT miss his afternoon nap.

Pop and Kiki shared this one from years ago...a hole in one!
One of my favorite parts about tennis is that East Catholic's home courts are in Wickham Park, so I get to drive through every day when I pick Rocco up.

Thursday, Apr. 18th
Our homeschool  co-op hosted a Fine Arts day.  Renna didn't present anything but we enjoyed watching other students share.  It was exactly what you picture as you read this.

There is so much ping-pong happening.  Day or night, any combo of kids.  I find it highly entertaining.

A final note on the swim team IG- so thoughtful.

A rare before-school pic...smile included!  It was college choice shirt day!
No picture, but Lisa and I rode out together to meet up with Pop and Kiki for breakfast.  We hadn't seen them since before their big trip.

I FT'd with Maddy; they've had an ongoing challenge with squirrels ever since moving into their apartment, and it finally got to a point that professional help was called in, so we chatted while she worked to ready the apartment and get them out of there for the weekend.  The landlord was fantastic and we think the problem is solved!
Youth group for the gang.

I "catered" a baby shower at the studio as my gift to Miss Kandie and the mom-to-be, Marissa, who worked in the office for years.  Everything worked out perfectly and as a bonus, I got to see Maddy and Ezra.
We scooted right from there up to Renna's soccer game and then grabbed Chinese on the way home.  C4 and Oakley joined us.

My Favorite Memes, installment 36

Another collection of mostly nonsense.  As I scroll through, it appears as though I'm only getting more snarky and sarcastic as I age...or at least my saved memes seem to be.  Laced throughout, there are a few truth bombs and nuggets of inspiration.  Clearly they were collected Q1, so there are references to long, cold winters, Valentine's Day, etc.  It's a long one...enjoy!

Hilarious!






Yes, please!





One of my favorites of this batch:







My SIL is the queen of this!
















































































I just loved the "I've been alive all my life..."  Hilarious!









All the time!



Sigh.  































Literally how I feel!
The truth!













I'm kidding, of course!



Another favorite of this batch!


Serious questions.  What was that about?!?





















I can only end this appropriately....
