Last Saturday, Scott finally completed his Confirmation! We were very happy to have Tom's brother Mark and his wife, Linda travel from Indiana to participate in the ceremony. Mark was Scott's sponsor-a wonderful choice as he is also Scott's Godfather. They arrived on Friday afternoon-and on Mark's birthday! Naturally, we all went out to dinner. I say all-Allison drove home from school on Friday afternoon also. When she got home we went to celebrate Mark's Bday at a local Mexican restaurant. Complete with a birthday sombrero! Afterwards, Mark and Scott had Confirmation rehearsal. It gave me a chance to go out and get a haircut. I tried to run out in the morning, but I was busy meeting with the broker to discuss my parent's business, along with ours. Looks like we could all use some financial help. And weekends have been busy around here with all he proms and soon graduations.
Saturday morning we were all up early for the ceremony. Gma and Gpa Bozyk decided to sit this one out(too early). Mark and Scott had to line up at church around 915 and we arrived shortly after. The service was quite nice with 40 kids in attendance being confirmed. We finished around noon and came home for lunch. Since we had out of town guests, we decided to do some sight seeing. We decided to avoid the outside activities for those with bad allergies and headed to one of the Smithsonian Air and Space museums near the Dulles airport. We were shocked to see the museum parking was closed due to full capacity. Which probably meant the museum was filled to capacity! Rather than fight the crowds, we decided to stop into Tyson's Corner mall and catch the new Avengers movie which was a lot of fun. In the evening, we all went out to dinner at Maggiones Italian restaurant to celebrate Scott's big day.
Mark and Linda were up early on Mother's Day and headed out on the road back to Indy. Our family enjoyed a Mother's Day brunch with my parents at their place and afterwards took a short walk over to a local custard/ice cream shop for a special treat. Afterwards, Allison headed back to school while I spent time visiting with my parents on Dad's new floor. On Thursday, I had joined my parents for an early Mother's Day dinner on Dad's floor. So double the partying for me and my parents! I also had a shorter work week as I attended a dementia class on Thursday.
We continue to run around with lots of other activities on the back burner. Scott was busy preparing for his upcoming Balloon festival at Boy Scouts-they actually bring a hot air balloon to an empty lot near our house for everyone to practice rolling in and out of the bag and then inflating and deflating. We are looking forward to the upcoming Balloon festival for the Preakness horse race. Scott and I have volunteered as part of the chase team for the past several years.
So again, Thanks so much to Mark and Linda for taking the time out of their busy family schedule and traveling to Maryland to be a huge part of Scott's special day! And Happy Birthday Mark!
And I hope you all enjoyed your Mother's Day weekend!
