all my boys are home

this will be a bit of a catch up post today.

first of all, just look at may's glorious, scented rainbow arrival.

thank you nicole and margo for this monthly dose of happiness!

heartfelt thank yous too to liz and nancy, two of my 

from-way-back-in-high-school-to-now-friends, who brought me a bright and cheery 

visit the other day - oh, and lunch too!

the time spent with you cheered me for days.  you two hold a very special place in my heart.

thank you for your love, attention and always stimulating conversation!

gabi had her final track meet for the year.  she's been trying out an assortment of

track and field events this season.  but i do believe sprints are her favorite.

here she is running the anchor for the 4x200m.  GO GABI!

fantastic news!  paul and ben are home from switzerland! 

ben, margo and andrew shared a wonderful, filled-to-bursting holiday together in london,

then paul met up with ben and the two of them spent a week 

together in switzerland and france.

thank yous to our dear friends, the o'neils, who treat our family as their family

and continue to overflow their kindness with swiss chocolate 

sent on to those of us at home.

merci, faith :)

not only are ben and paul home, but sab and ben's friends are all home from college 

for the summer.  yay!  a full dinner table again.
