Oldest turns 16!!!

I have been extremely busy lately getting rid of old junk. We have had our third flood in 4 years in the basement. (None of which is due to rainfall, by the way) Everything is out to survey the damage and make decisions about. I have found boxes of clothing that I was saving for the littlest to grow into. Well, of course I am too late. They are too small already! I am so frustrated! I plan to donate all of this stuff!

We did celebrate Oldest turning 16 at her favorite restaurant. She got to enjoy her fave meal of chicken schnitzel with spaetzles. Her party will be later in the month. Her friend, Ryan joined us for the event. He said "Chic-fil-ay is just as good" He won't be joining us there again!!

Sweet Sixteen!!!

Oldest is going to be 16 at the beginning of next month. My best friend is the best photographer ever and I had her take some pics with my dad's 1962 Nova convertible. We found the most charming little lane and got permission from a man on a mower to use it. Brandi had to wait for him to get out of the shot a few times, but she did a fantastic job on the pictures and we could not be happier with them.
