I went to bed before dark last night

It has been crazy around here, but we wouldn't want it any other way!  Saturday Thomas was up and at 'em to paintball, and the rest of us spent our morning getting ready for Kyle's graduation party.  He is the son of our very dear friends and along with his brother is the closest we'll ever have to a nephew.  Their family has been experiencing a great deal of stress lately due to some health issues, so we were early afternoon to help in any way that we could.  We arrived in shifts and left in shifts, but we were there.  It was really nice to be able to see so many people we hadn't seen in years and visit.  We were tired people when we left, but we had so much fun.

Sunday was a day for catching up around the house, and then Monday was back to school for everyone except Robert.  He and I spent the day getting ready for the next phase of his life after next year's graduation, and we are very proud of him.  That evening we attended a ceremony where Thomas was recognized for his work in band, and then dashed to be at Kyle's graduation.  He was one of the valedictorians and I'm so pleased we were in our seats exactly as it began and we didn't miss a thing!

Yesterday I spent all day planting in the front of our house, and after everything I was just wiped out.  I fell asleep on the couch at 8, and when Andrew put Thomas to bed at 9 I woke up and went to bed myself.  I needed the sleep!  And as of 2:30 this afternoon, we are finished with school!
