Ava - Student of the Month

 Ava Kate was named Student of the Month for March. 

When I read the qualifications and how she earned it, I responded to the principal and told him he spelled Addy wrong! 

Ha! I kid. 

I know she is a little mouthy with us but she exemplifies leadership, kindness and caring. 

We couldn't be prouder of her! 

Bonus that my BFF's son was also named in the same month. 

Millicent Ann

This one hurt. 

I grew up with dogs but have never had one as an adult. 

Millie was the most perfect family dog who lived with my mom but we all LOVED so much. 

She hasn't been feeling well so my mom took her to the vet. 

Unfortunately, it wasn't the news we wanted and hard decisions had to be made. 

Ava had a HUGE bond with Millie. 

But she was at work. 

I went to her work and picked her up so she could be with Millie for her last breath. 

I'm so glad I did. 

Ava took this one really hard. 

Millie passed peacefully with Ava and Jojo each holding a paw, knowing nothing more than love. 

Rest peacefully, Millicent Ann. 

We love you! 

 

Happy 15th Birthday, Addycakes!

I blinked and my girl turned 15. 

It was a pretty lowkey birthday, as next year will be a big bash for Sweet Sixteen!

We grabbed a few of her besties and headed to Addy's favorite restaurant. 

Her friends are a little pickier so they had chicken fingers. 

Back to our house for cake and ice cream with the rest of the family. 

And more hang out time with the besties.  

Happy Birthday, Sweet Girl. 

You are the most perfect 15 year old I know.
