Mother's Day and May Activities

It’s a little late, but we had a really nice Mother’s Day a couple weekends ago.  May is a busy time for everyone with spring sports, and the Williams had two games on Mother’s Day, we had one, and Bo had one, but we all found time to meet up for a great lunch at the Williams house.  The girls had a fun time playing, as always, and we mothers enjoyed sitting back and enjoying a nice meal prepared by the guys.  
Since Mother’s Day we’ve been busy with the ending of the school year and activities for the girls.  Nina’s best friend has Type 1 diabetes, and each year for the past 3 years, Nina has been a part of the JDRF Walk for diabetes with her friend, Grace.  It’s a great event to raise funds and awareness for Juvenile Diabetes with the added bonus of face painting, bounce houses, and other fun activies after the walk is completed.  This time we picked up another puppy to take home from the walk!  :)
  
During 5th grade in Loudoun County Public Schools, the students get D.A.R.E throughout the year.  I’ve been impressed with how the program was run at our school, and it seemed like the deputies did a great job educating the kids about the dangers of drugs, alcohol, and peer pressure.  After a year’s worth of D.A.R.E, the 5th graders had their graduation from the program this week.  It was nice to hear from the deputies that worked with the students as well as some of the students themselves about how the program has impacted them.  We are defintiely going to miss having Nina at Legacy.  It’s been an awesome school with great teachers, administrators, and kids.  She’ll be going from being a Legacy Labrador to a Brambleton Bear (middle school), and we can only hope her next school is as good of an experience as Legacy has been.
  
For all those wondering what Cayenne has been up to, she’s still busy stalking squirrels, getting plenty of baby dog time, and she even has her own Instagram page.  Feel free to follow her at @cayennethevizsla
