PIR 4/8/2011 Alum Group!

Hi gang!  My son is home on leave.  Graduated with honors and is off to Whidbey Island.  I don't know what he does and he won't tell me so I can't tell you.....lol.  I knew it would happen.  His best friend from high school just got back from Iraq and is here for a couple of days - it has been so chaotic and fun....makes me wistful.  While all of that has been going on, my oldest daughter was packing for her move to Washington DC - she flew out today.  So it has been pretty wild around here - very much like old times - there have been lots of kids in and out of my house - some I haven't seen since they graduated from high school 5 years ago.  Ah, but that is coming to an end - Katie is gone and my son's friend leaves tonight.  My son will be home until the 19th when he drives to Whidbey with my husband.  They are planning on 6 days but hope to make it in 5.  Yuck!  I would not want to do that......

Mumz - Hang on to those memories. Sounds like you truly enjoy having that houseful of kids around. I wish Katie all the best of luck on her adventures in DC and Alex all the most wonderful secret stuff that he can get. :0)

I am sure that you will have a wonderful time with him while he is home. Congrats to Alex for graduating with honors too!!

Have a great rest of your week.

Mumzie, you have had a lot occurring in your household.  It is amazing how quick the kids grow up and leave.  My daughter is home for a while.  she will be attending Community College for the time being.  She is still undecided as to what path she wants her future to take.  She has started to talk about joining either Air Force or Navy.  We might be heading to a recruiter after school begins.  Possibility I will be going through this again.  Good luck with everything!
