Raindrops on Roses

 The rain keeps falling and it is June, one week before my "baby" girl's graduation.  Last weekend was senior ball, and we had to rush over a jacket because it was raining and snowing!!!  

Some beautiful friends had dinner together before Ball.

Three best friends

The weather is frightful, but the past couple weeks have been full of all those last moments...so I was reminded of the song, "raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens.....these are a few of my favorite things."  And I thought I would share a few of my favorite things.

There's my girl singing her own song at the "Unplugged" talent show that she produced for her senior project!!! 

Last concerts

Last comedy sportz performance.  Tonight she won best female improver!!!!!!!!!

Putting her on the bus to leave for choir trip to Greece.

Well, Happy Pink Saturday.  And, oh yeah, here's my "whiskers on kittens" pic---my sweet kitty who is NOT going to graduate and leave home!!

Graduation! Watch my "baby" bird fly!

I have to apologize for not keeping up with my new blog, and show you why!! This mother bird has been really busy with my firstborn jumping from tree limbs and flying! The past few weeks have been full to overflowing with wonderful "lasts"....last comedy sportz show, last Chamber Choir concert, last concert choir concert, baccalaureate, last homework, last presentation, right up to the graduation walk itself!... it is a thrill and also a loss for me, the mama. I am so glad for these years with Dylan. He is accepted into Columbia College Chicago, and is leaving to start there September 8th. He will be focusing on musical theater, combining his two biggest passions. We are proud, and aching at how far away Chicago is....thankful I will still have a couple more years with my beautiful Chloe, as she is now a junior! (they are the middle two in this bottom photo, in case you don't know) Being a mom is a huge privilege. I am grateful daily.
