May. 12, 2008 - Project 52 Weeks 18-19, May 1-13

The first two weeks of May are always hectic around here. During that first weekend, Laurel had a Show Kids performance as part of the SKIT Performing Arts School. Her group sang a medley from "High School Musical." Here she is in the green room with her good friend Tae'lor, who was a phenomenal performer during the Broadway Musical show.




Then came the Cub Scouts end-of-the-year pack meeting, which consumed Dr. H. for the few days preceding the event. He did a fabulous job planning and running the night, from food to games to the more solemn crossing over ceremony. Here's Duncan with one of his very best buddies, Noah, running the three-legged race:





Just to make our life even more complicated, we somehow scheduled to American Heritage Girls Spring Awards and Crossing Over Ceremony for the same week as the Cub Scouts' big night! So while Dr. H. was celebrating his hard-earned relaxation on Tuesday evening, I was in high-stress mode. The ceremony was wonderful on Thursday, though, and I continue to marvel that we've just finished out our 5th year as a troop. The blessings are abundant. Here are Laurel and I as we head off to the ceremony:

We are heading off for a much-anticipated vacation to Colonial Williamsburg this week. Eight hours in the car with a book sure does sound good!
