Kate was teasing Ty and calling him by his middle name, David. She then said it would be strange if people called her by her middle name and he questioned, "Bug?" We have always called her Kate Bug, not realizing he didn't know it is a nickname.
Kate was my travel buddy this weekend for an overnight trip to Dayton to take Ethan's Senior photos. As usual, Chris and Kristin spoiled us with amazing food. Kate is by far my easiest kid to take along on any adventure or outing and I am glad we had the time together.
We made a stop by the cemetery before heading home. Ryan has been heavy on my heart lately so it was important for me to have a few quiet moments to gather my thoughts. Because he is buried in an infant only area of the cemetery, we always discover new toys hidden among tree branches or displayed upon the bench that designates a memorial location. This time someone left an Army man collection and for whatever reason, it made me smile.
As of Saturday morning, Erin is finally fully moved into her condo. Ada joined her Saturday as well. So once we returned from Dayton, we purged the attic and made donations of the things we haven't used in years. It felt good to eliminate the clutter and deeply clean the house after weeks of living in transition. However, since I was already in the attic and in cleaning mode, the fall decor made it's way into the house. Makenna has complaints. I have failed to care.
The girls are both taking college classes around two jobs. Makenna is pursuing elementary education and Erin is furthering her degree in health care. One of them is in a math class at the moment. Bet you can't guess which one.
