Ok, so it has been awhile since I have posted anything on the blog. You may even be wondering what has been going on with the Gray family for the past 3 months. Well, a lot! So here is the the quick run down...
April...1 week in Rome extended to 9 days because of the volcano in Iceland (but I was not complaining!), Maya's 13th birthday and Daniele's 18th.
May... 4 days in Normandy visiting the Dday beaches and American WWII memorial cementary, rugby championships, Daniele returned to South Carolina for the prom and it snowed, yeah I said snow!
June...Kermesse (the annual school carnival) for John and Lauren , Maya's chorus program, Lauren's art show, going away parties, Church community picnic where Preston roasted a hog, and in 5 days....Daniele will graduate from high school!
I think I have been in the state of denial for the past 3 months! Between the weather and my baby going off to college, it has been easier to just stay busy. And speaking of the weather, it has been really cold and rainy, frankly awful for this time of year. This is the coldest spring that I have ever had in my life! There is just something wrong about wearing boots and leather in June! I am trying to think warm, happy thoughts as we approach the 1st day of summer.
As far as taking time to write the blog, I had been so busy with french and running the house as well as helping Daniele with her applications for college that when all decisions were made about which school she would attend, I just wanted to curl up in the corner and sleep for a few months. I also have been all over the place emotionally, so writing the blog was the last thing on my mind. Now facebook is another story. (don't tell Preston, but he may be right about my addiction, lol)
I plan on writing blogs about those activities I have not shared over the past few months as well as some of our vacations to come. Not that things are slowing down, but I do see a light at the end of the tunnel. Or is that the train that will hit me when I drop my babygirl off at school in 60 days!
