Prom 1981: Taylor, Julia, Nancy, Steve

I wanted to post this to show how things haven't really changed all that much, haha.

Love Thursday

Love a good jumping shot!

The Prom.

Bridget ready for Prom 2012


Bridget's date, Matthew, used to live right across the street.  For many years, they waited together at the bus stop.


Photo-opp for Mom.


They indeed had both Moms and the neighbors see them off! Haha. Such excitement on Kingtree Court.


But first, a pose at the old bus stop.


They met their friends for more photo opps.  I followed with my camera, of course.

Sweetness

This little pile of fluffy joy came up for Edward's senior design show; mom's new dog, Bailey.  He is a mini Goldendoodle.

Edward's Senior Design Presentation

We had a wonderful weekend celebrating the culmination of Edward's engineering program at Calvin College with his Senior Design presentation.  Information about their project is here.


Ed and one of his team members in front of their project.


Ed with his proud parents!!  At the bottom of this post, you can listen to the presentation (you probably need to use headphones).

Three Part Celebration for Bridget's 17th

To celebrate Bridget's 17th trip around the sun, we met John and our friends Cathy, Emily & Ben at Olga's for supper.  This fun cake they brought added so much to the celebration!  Turning the "Big One...7" is in reference to a movie we watched together a few weekends ago about growing a big pumpkin called Growing the Big One.

For Part 2, Bridget had some of her dearest friends from school over for pizza and a movie on Friday night.


Apparently, a baggy of 4 goldfish is a funny gift.  Now she has to keep them alive.  She exclaimed, "There's already poop in the bag!"


Part 3:  pizza dinner with the family after church on Sunday! Fun times.

Sunday Afternoon Reflections

 
This past Sunday afternoon Bridget & I went to a local park with our friend Jeanette who is very knowledgeable about biology.  We learned about and I took photos of many of the wild flowers.  We also ate some of the wild garlic which Jeanette was pulling out since it's an invasive species.  Such a beautiful afternoon!
