There was no shortage of love to show on Dad's Birthday. The girls dragged him out of bed to shower him with love and gifts. Then it was off to work he went. Grandma Lang came down for the day and brought Krista, Constance and Claire. They spent the day with us and then stayed with the girls so I could take Jeff out for a beautiful dinner at Mar'sel at Terranea. The restaurant is gorgeous and delish! We had the perfect evening!!! Happy Birthday Husband!
Judy and Jane took us all out to Ruby's to celebrate Jeff's Birthday. We always have the best time, spending time with our special friends who are like family! 
We woke up Sunday morning and as usual on special occasions we open presents in pj's. This special day is Father's Day and we want to celebrate the greatest Dad in the World! Things we love about Jeff are... his sensitive nature, his strong muscles, his ability to build anything, his kind and generous heart and that he loves us all so much! His favorite gifts were the beautiful painted rock from Gigi, his fancy new painted t-shirt from Jessie and his colorful custom key chain from Josette. After breakfast, we drove down South to the Huckleberry Pond for some fishing with Grandpa Lang and the cousins. Later that evening we joined Ginny and Gene and Al and Randa at Frascati for a dinner celebration. We are very thankful for all the Father's and Grandfather's in our lives and appreciate your kindness and love for our family!
This was by far the most exciting, rewarding and special day for Josette and her entire family. For the 3rd year in a row, the Teachers and Principal, Mrs. Allphin, have chosen Josette to receive the Principal's Award. Each year they choose one or two students from each grade to receive the Award. Josette was recognized for being an outstanding student in all areas, for being an excellent citizen and for leading by example. Those words came straight from her Award. Josette has been an excellent student ALL year. We are so proud of her! Tears came to my eyes as I read her perfect score report card. Mrs. Millinder said "She is a pleasure to have in class and she is every teacher's dream student. I can't wait to see what the future holds." Josette's nature is to do the right thing and be kind to others. It makes me proud and honored that she is recognized by others for being such a good person. Josette, I hope you look back on this day and appreciate your wonderful accomplishments. We ended the day by taking her to dinner for a special date night with Mom and Dad.
We attended Matt Ulizio's special ceremony and celebration watching him receive his Eagle Scout Award. What an accomplishment for him after many years of hard work and dedication. Look how beautiful Cara and the girls are!
Gigi's Graduation and Olympics Day has arrived. She has completed 2 years of Preschool and is ready to enter Kindergarten. So much preparation went into her Olympics Day. She practiced, practiced and practiced her hula hooping, jump roping, running and hurdle jumps. Her teachers, Miss Kathy and Miss Sharon, helped her design her t-shirt, flag and torch. She accomplished her physical activities with pride and a huge smile on her face. The ceremonies ended with her receiving an Olympic Medal. We are so grateful of her experience at Town & Country. She is taking with her... confidence, good social skills and a sense of adventure to start her long journey of learning in elementary school. Good Job Gigi!!!
