Jason and I hosted a Lonza picnic for some of the new recruits that went to JMU. I was such a bad photographer…I only took pictures of the dogs. One of the girls had a white boxer named Zephyr. The boys got along very well.
Two weeks ago we had a JMU reunion in Northern Virginia. Scott and Cheryl came down from NJ to see everyone and we all got together for cookout at Mike and Tone’s house. It was so great to see each other and a little scary to see us all grown up too. Jedd and Lexx recently had a baby…weird to see up all married and one couple with a kid. We had an awesome time spending some time together.

The last few days of school we had grade level picnics and played limbo for the students last fun day of music. It was a short class and we have to have out rooms packed up because we don’t have any work days after the students leave. We had a great time, and I am look ing forward to going back to the same place and having something familiar to me next year.
Fifth Grade Graduation
My students sang at their fifth grade graduation and did a great job. I was very proud of them, and it was sad to see them go.
Flash and D.O.G. were inseparable by the end of the 2 weeks that we had him. Flash was very sad to see his snuggle buddy go. They still see each other for play dates every few days, but Flash enjoyed having a buddy around nonstop.
Flash was very excited to have his daddy all to himself though!
And…Jim and Shannon brought Flash back some new toys after their trip because they knew that Flash and D.O.G. destroyed basically every toy that Flash owns.
For our anniversary, Jason and I went to an awesome German Restaurant called the Bavarian Inn in Shepherdstown, WV. The food was amazing! We had heard that this was a pretty awesome place, but we had never been, so we decided to go. I think this might become one of our favorites.

A great way to end the night, a glass of champagne and the most awesome German Chocolate Cake we’ve ever had!
Our friends Jim and Shannon went to Vegas for 2 weeks for a wedding, so Jason and I have been dog sitting. D.O.G. has been hanging out here making himself at home, and WOW is it messy with 2 dogs playing constantly. They have been so great together. They entertain themselves, they tire each other out every night and they even share beds, food, and toys. They are such good friends.

Endless hours of Tug of War. They have decapitated the majority of Flash’s toys.

For Memorial Day weekend we went to Waynesboro for my parents big BBQ and pool party. There were about 35 people there and we had a huge awesome meal, the guys played golf, and there were plenty of games and pool time. Flash got to enjoy the pool as well. He’s still not too sure about the deep end and the diving board. It was nice to have a relaxing weekend with everyone.
