Celeste to be Crowned Honor Star

My flashing headline of the day is that my daughter passed her final exam this weekend and has now met all the requirements to be crowned an Honor Star.  If you are not familiar with that program, it is part of the M-Pact Girls Clubs (formerly known as Missionettes) at our church.  She has been an Honor in all the previous classes she has been involved in as well- but this specific honor is THE BIG ENCHILADA!!!!!!   We are very proud of her today and I know her celebration/ceremony will be terrific!  I will journal more about her big day following the ceremony next month!

In other news, we had a wonderful weekend attending a wedding and just staying busy.   At the wedding, we enjoyed seeing and talking to old friends, eating, laughing, and sharing about our lives.  It's always good to catch up with the lives of those you care about!
THEN....We had a lot of packing to do as my kids are off to camp this week!  What a week it will be for all of us!  I still have some kids at home, but it's going to be a lot quieter around here for the next few days.  My husband took this week off and we are counting this time together as our "Babymoon"- even if we do have little ones to care for.  We don't often get time together like this, so I'm sure it will be well enjoyed... and needed.    We have some fun things planned, but our main goal is just to have some time together before we get wrapped up with our newborn in a few weeks.

I recommend a Babymoon for all couples who are getting ready to have a baby.  My husband and I have always tried to make a little extra time for each other before a new baby arrived into our home, but it wasn't called a Babymoon 13 years ago when we started having kids!  That's recent jargon.   A Babymoon is not about travel, but it is about getting away with each other and reconnecting.  It's not about adventure; it's about relaxing.  It's not about the quantity of time; it's about the quality!  Couples need that "coming together of the minds, spirits, and emotions before D-Day. (Delivery Day).

And speaking of special deliveries... congratulations are in order for Angie and JC who delivered a healthy baby girl yesterday afternoon!  She joins sister Abby.    Blessings to your expanding family!

Have a wonderful Monday!
