Father's Day Weekend

Talk about a great weekend... it started on Friday evening when David and I went to Joey & Stephanie's house to celebrate Father's Day. David's present was in the back of Joey's truck - a dis-assembled wheel barrow! When she bought it, she didn't know it had some "assembly required" instructions! Oh well - what's one more Saturday morning project????

What a great pix of Father and Daughter! Both look fabulous!

Joey got quite a present as well - a new grill. And look at those steaks! Talk about a great cook - Joey is one of the best. The steaks were great! Thanks for a great start to the Father's Day weekend!

ROCKBOX THEATER

Sunday morning Jason & Allison meet us at Taco Cabana for breakfast before we started out for Fredericksburg. We picked up grandmother and off we went - first to take a quick look at the progress on their new house, then on to the show.

Grandmother, Jo Ann, Allison, Jason & David - great seats and Father's got in free!

You just can't explain it. But this is the best kept secret in the hill country. Great entertainment, great family fun. If you haven't had a chance to check it out - we highly recommend it. Jason and David laughed so hard that mom, Allison and me got tickled just listening to them. Check out their website - rockbox.com and make plans to attend. You'll be glad you did.

Graduation and Goodbye's

Hoorah! Taylor graduated from Pre-Kinder and is well on his way to public school kindergarden! After last year it was touch and go - but he made it through with flying colors! We are proud of him. He'll start Leon Valley Elementary School in the fall and he'll have his sister, Ashton, there at to show him the ropes! She is excited, too, because she leaves for CBC Children's Camp on Saturday. This is her second year to go to camp and she was ready to go several days in advance.

Gigi went to Taylor's graduation and enjoyed seeing all the kiddos do "their thing" and walk across the stage to receive their diploma's.

Madi leaves for Chicago to visit her dad and family for a whole month. We all got together and celebrated the "End of Year' at Timbo's, a great hamburger place near the new section of the riverwalk. Madi, Allison and GB - her grandmother Betty (Allison's mom).
Austin was excited about the end of school as well - funny how boys are just ready for it to be over! GB presented him with a great book for the summer. Austin loves this kind of book and is a "sponge" when it comes to learning new things. He will probably be an inventor or creative director. He is one great kid!

Greta, the German foreign exchange student that has lived with Jason and Allison all year is headed back to her home. It had been a year of excitement and we all hated to see her go - but I know she was ready to get back home with her family and friends. Watch out, Germany - the Henning's would love to visit your country - and expecially now that we KNOW someone! We'll miss you Greta.

It's official - school's out and summer is here - even Ditto is excited about the lazy, crazy, days of summer... maybe I'll make more time to blog... watch out... it could happen!
