Family Pictures...

 

This my son Rick, DIL Noelle, Nicholas, Chloe with her Papa and me. 

 

 

Chloe's Graduation...

 

This is Chloe's graduation from Nursery School.  Next year she will attend all day Kindergarten at Mountain View Elementary School where Nicholas attends.

Chloe was one of the few well-behaved kids from her class. 

Chloe with her Mom Noelle at graduation.  Rick was there but he had to go back to work and I didn't get his picture with Chloe. 

Noelle invited all of us to lunch at Mary's in Downtown Greenville.  Nicholas took the day off from school so he could attend.  Chloe was so excited about going to lunch and having presents.  Olivia is Misty's daughter and one of the children's best friends. 
 

This is Misty, one of Noelle's friends who works at the hospital with her. 
As you can see the kids love her.

Chloe, Congratulations!

Thanks for reading,

Awards Day at Nicholas' School

 

This past Tuesday was Nicholas' awards ceremony at school.  His Mom and Dad both had to work, so I filled in for them.

He received A-B Honor Roll for the entire year, a member of Student Council pin, perfect attendance last quarter.

He will be moving on to 4th grade next year.

Thanks for reading,

Two Visitors from Las Vegas...

 

My cousin Bill's daughter Kelly came here a few weeks ago to visit Rick and his family.  Kelly lives in Las Vegas and just retired after spending many years as a 911 Supervisor.

Kelly brought Sully on the plane with her.  She backed him into the underneath part of the seat in front of her and he rode all the way to South Carolina there.

 

You can't believe how much Kelly was able to teach Mallie in those few day.  She was a good dog before but she's a great dog now.

Kelly is teaching Mallie how to climb stairs.

 

Chloe was worried Sully would smush Mallie.

They loved this game. 

 

Kelly trains "Canine Companions for Independence" in her spare time.  She raises Service Dogs, Hearing Dogs, Facility Dogs and Skilled Companions.  Kelly told me with my severe form of rhematoid arthritis I would be eligible for one of these dogs.  I go to the orthopedic surgeon on June 21 and find out what kind of surgery he wants to do.  I think I will try to get one of these dogs then.

 

Nicholas and Chloe had a great time with Sully and Millie.  I think they wanted to keep Sully and Kelly here.

Thanks for reading.
