Matt and Aimee came in for a very short weekend. Friday night, Steve, Melissa, Matt, Aimee, and I went to a surprise party for Matt's good friend, Scott. Scott's twin brother, Chris, and his wife flew in from California. Scott's wife, Beth, did a great job keeping the party and Chris's visit a secret! We all had fun !

Saturday night we celebrated Mother's Day at our house. I created a Mexican theme for our family fun night. I made beef and chicken enchiladas, Spanish rice, and a strawberry margarita pie for dessert. Steve was in charge of the drinks, including the "Skinny Girl" margaritas. After dinner, we played Mexican train; a domino game. Melissa laughed so much! It was the best treatment and good medicine that she could have! She and Matt kept each other laughing and telling stories all night! It was so good for Matt and Aimee to see how upbeat and positive she is! They both remarked how good Melissa looks. They were so happy they made the long trip in for such a short period of time!

Melissa is working at the Market Basket today for their Mother's Day brunch. Matt and Aimee left early for their 11 hour car ride home to Indianapolis. We all got our "family fix" of hugs, laughs, tears, and smiles! Thank you, God!
Tomorrow...a new day begins as we continue on Melissa's journey with her!
Kindergarten Quotes: Melissa's students wrote and drew pictures in writer's workshop on Friday about what they liked or learned at the farm.
- "I like the pigs the best, one even peed in front of me!"
- "I learned that cows give us lots of stuff!"
- "I learned pigs can sunburn really easily. They are really lazy too, they just lay there."
- "I like the the fuzz from the sheep. It's soft!"
