Spring is also planting season
Knox came home from his Farm Days field trip with a bean plant
Not sure what kind of beans
Maybe they're magic

That time we had supper at Panda Garden and grandson Elijah ate all the chocolate pudding
Not really but close
And Shelby ate all the fried chicken
Not really. Not even close.
Although she once ate seven chicken legs at KFC on a dare

Honk!
“But after it's all said and done, don't you want to grow old with your best friend? At the end of the day, that's who you want to share your life and laughter with. Someone who will be there in hard times to hold you tight. Someone who will fight for your honor and support your decisions. Someone who will encourage your dreams and help you to fulfill them.”

Knox and Elijah tossing the Frisbee after school
And Shelby catches up on some reading that isn't school related
Neil found this bird nest on the ground
The nest apparently came from a large bush he recently cut down
Poor bird! All that hard work for nothing

Ella listened intently to Neil, Knox, and Elijah talk video games after school
She kept a close eye on her cousin Elijah, though
I think she finds him interesting. Or scary. Not sure which.
Talking video games
Hot topic with these three
Elijah gave Knox some Fortnite tips
April 27
Shelby looking like a movie star all decked out and dolled up for her senior prom
Shelby with her mom, Holly
With cousins Ella and Knox
She's our first grandchild and first granddaughter
We love her to pieces
So hard to believe she's a senior in high school and ready to graduate next month
With her aunt Kelly and mom Holly
Borrowed this from Kelly's Facebook page
Shelby was five when they posed for the top picture
And here they are twelve years later
“How did it get so late so soon?”

There is no glory in star or blossom till looked upon by a loving eye;
There is no fragrance in April breezes till breathed with joy as they wander by.
