- We were up until after 1 last night talking to Anderson. When Keaton, Campbell, and Graham came in from their evening outing, they added to the conversation so it was a fairly lively evening. I think that there were be quite a few more late nights like this coming up this summer.
- Keaton, Campbell, and I left around 7:20 this morning to drop Campbell off to help a friend with a garage sale. Then Keaton and I met Whitman and Graham at Raymar. Graham reffed two games while Keaton and Whitman worked in the concession stand.
- Then Keaton reffed three games, and Campbell eventually showed up to work a bit in the concession stand too. It was an odd weather day-it was cold, it was hot, it was sunny, it was cloudy, it was windy, it was not. I had on a sweatshirt, then a long sleeve shirt, then a tshirt, then a jacket and ended up taking my jacket off and on all afternoon.
- We came home, and I laid down on the couch for a little bit. Then it was time to get ready for Graham's Senior banquet at church. Reagan drove up, and Grannymom, Nonna, and Pops were all there. The food was pasta and cheesecake tonight, and it was very good. All of the seniors received a super nice Bible.
- After the banquet was over, Reagan emptied the contents of her car to our big white van-I'm not sure how, but she practically filled up the white van. Then Campbell took on care to go and play pickleball while Graham took another to go and play volleyball-they were actually going to the same place, but sharing a car would have made too much sense.
- Robby and I dropped off Keaton and Whitman at home, and then we took some banquet leftovers to the Wilsons. Then we hauled Reagan's things up to the bonus room. It is already filling up, but we still have a lot to add up there.

- Robby and I slept as long as we could this morning-we were both kind of stirring at our normal time, but since Marley was sleeping and since Friday is really our Saturday, we just stayed in the bed.
- The garage door man was here fairly early-he was able to fix the garage door and even fixed the something extra on the garage door so Robby was super pleased. Robby then left to run some errands, but he wasn't the first one in the house to leave,
- Campbell was awake and left before Robby and I did get out of bed. Last night Keaton did some work on Campbell's hair, and it turned a pretty bright yellow. Even though we had shipped something to help, it wasn't here yet so she went to the store.
- At her second store she found what a substitute product and came home to use it. Her hair then was pretty much back to normal, but she also used the product that came in so now her hair is really back to normal. It was a fun experience.
- Keaton, Campbell, and Graham all went to work this afternoon-this might be Keaton's last time at work since they just asked her to work the last two weeks, but they did send home all of the work employment papers so who knows.
- Robby and I ran some more errands this afternoon, and then we hurried home to change clothes. Then I picked up Shannon while Robby showered, and then we picked him up. Shannon was able to hook us up to work the doors for the Charity Gail concert. We let in the crowds, and then we were able to see the whole concert.
- While we were gone, Keaton and Campbell picked up a few friends and ran some errands. They came back here for a bit before leaving to play pickleball. They were gone until late, but Anderson came home for the weekend for the senior banquet tomorrow and to bring a load of things home from his dorm room.
- We were able to catch up quite a bit with Anderson, and we stayed up way too late chatting especially since we have to leave the house early in the morning!

- Keaton and Campbell went to work this morning. A few Thursdays ago, I let them oversleep (though I am not the one who usually wakes them up since they do that by their selves.) Since then, I have been a bit paranoid about them not sleeping in, and I don't know when they are supposed to wake up either, but they were already stirring this morning.
- I let Whitman sleep in a few minutes longer, but then we did some work together. He didn't have a whole lot of work to do today, so he played his new board game in the middle of the school morning. It is a single player game so I haven't played it.
- Graham ran quite a bit today-over 6 miles. Plus he started studying for his one final. I left around 2 to go and set his senior table up at church. Campbell and Keaton helped me, and I will say that Graham's table looked better than any of the other ones there...I was the first one to decorate my table so the odds were pretty high that ours would be the best at least right now.
- I then ran a few errands with Robby while Campbell and Keaton ran a few errands too. We came home for a bit, then we left again. This time our errand running was more productive plus we picked up supper for everyone-it was pretty late when we made it home but better late than never!

- Another busy day around here. We started off with some reading this morning. I realized that we are really going to finish most things before school is over next week, and that makes me super happy. Our work load is getting a little lighter every day so school is taking less time each day too-except for Graham because he still has a project and a test left to do next week.
- I had to leave for lunch out again today, so I had to fly through all of my extra work with everyone. I did hit the highlights so that was good.
- I met some girls from my Sunday school class, and we went to first. Then, we went to Goodness Village and gave a little gift card and gift to a few of the residents. Goodness Village is low cost apartments that people can stay in while they are receiving medical treatment. We have done things for this organization a few times, so it was neat to see it.
- I hurried home afterwards so I could do a few things around the house and do science with Whitman. Graham, Campbell, and Keaton were at work this afternoon, but when they came home, we all left again for church.
- We had baked potatoes and salad for our meal at church tonight for the workers. It was a busy night, but when it was over, Robby picked me up so Campbell could go one way and Graham could go another way. Then we went to the Wilson's house for a few minutes before coming home to settle on the couch.

- Keaton and Campbell left around 10ish this morning and go and babysit. They were able to get quite a bit of their school work finished before leaving, but Keaton and I weren't able to finish her math. We will have to do that tomorrow which will be another short day for her-and me.
- Since the weather was a little bit stormy, I reminded them that if the sirens did go off to just go to the bathroom with some books and snacks and make it fun, not scary. Thankfully, they didn't have to worry about that though.
- Whitman did some of his school work last night which was incredibly nice. We were able to zoom through his work, and just left his science activity to do this afternoon. We built a beam bridge in his science yesterday, and today we turned it into a truss bridge. We have used so much hot glue in his science curriculum-probably we have used more hot glue than I have ever used before in my life.
- I left at noon to go and have lunch with some friends. (I have lunch out tomorrow too.) We visited for a while, and then when we left, I could tell that the storm was coming. However, I had two errands to run-first to Walmart. I was in and out pretty quickly with it just starting to rain as I left.
- Then I debated stopping at Academy, but I was so close even though it just about to pour. By the time that I was leaving, it was pouring! I was drenched and it was crazy raining. However, I was kind of fine with it-I drove slowly home and was able to listen to my book longer...except some times the rain was so heavy I couldn't hear my book.
- Once I made it home, I unpacked my things and then worked with Whitman for a little bit on our bridge building. It wasn't too long before Keaton and Campbell came home. Graham had already run quite a bit this morning, but he played basketball for a long time tonight too. And the whole time he was playing, Campbell was trying to get a group together to go and eat. She did leave for a minute and made it down the road until her friend let her know that she couldn't come.
- Robby and I are now on the couch watching tv-and I'm trying to decide if I would like to have some ice cream or if I would like to have some hot chocolate.
April 27, 2026
- For a Monday, this was a wonderful Monday-I didn't leave the house at all. I like leaving, but I sure do like staying too. I was busy all the day long though. We started off with school this morning-the girls are going to babysit tomorrow so they really should have done some extra school work, but that didn't happen.
- I was able to get a few things ready for Graham's senior table at the banquet on Saturday night. It took me a good while to find all the pictures I wanted. However, I was able to mark that off my list along with washing Anderson's sheets and washing all the towels.
- Keaton went to work with Campbell and Graham again today. I think that she was able to help more today. She will also go back Wednesday and Friday, and hopefully they will need her some more.
- While they were all gone this afternoon, I walked, text with Reagan, and worked with Whitman. The afternoon really did fly by, and I had just finished my crocheting for the day when the kids came home from work.
- Robby was home a bit later, but when he came home we heated up an empanada and ate some chips and salsa along with it. Now, we are on the couch watching some tv before bed.
April 26, 2026
- We were all moving a little slow this morning since we were up late last night, but we all made it to church on time. Keaton drove Campbell and me to church since I had to be there early for worship care.
- There were a lot of little babies in worship care, so we were pretty busy. I met up with Robby after church for Sunday school, and then most of us headed to Nonna and Pops' house.
- Keaton went with the Crafts to watch Maia play soccer. Then they hung out until life group, so she was gone all afternoon long.
- The rest of us ate, and then Graham headed to do some dog sitting just for the day. He stayed at the house until he went to play pickleball with some friends.
- Campbell had some friends come to the house, and then they went to paint pottery. Of course that led to some shopping and eating out. She had a fun evening and made it home before us.
- After our nap this afternoon, we took Whitman to his lifegroup, and then we went to Raymar to eat with our Sunday school class. We stayed and visited for a long while and then picked Keaton up on the way home. It was a busy day, but there was a nap and a tv show watched so I can't complain at all.
