These are a Few of my Favorite Things

My oh-so-talented daughter, Anna, doodled this piece of art tonight. She, from what I understand, chose two of her favorite things from each room in our house. My favorite selections are the salt and pepper shakers, the daisies and the green chair. Wouldn't you agree that her attention to detail is truly unbelievable?

What a gift of art.

And love.

What a girl.

Zoo Day

The day before school was out, Collin's class took a field trip to the zoo. Ryan and Ella tagged along too. How apropos, classwork was complete for the most part and chaperones were abundant as everyone always has free time at the end of May. Yes, I am being facetious. Honestly, though, lately everyday seems like zoo day in my life (except for the blessed vacation we took to Arkansas) so the outing really made me feel right at home. And, the Dallas Zoo in particular, has really made an elephant size effort in their recent renovations, so much so, that not once did I wish I was at the Ft. Worth Zoo while I was there.

Just a little end of the year comparison for brain cell sake, before that gray matter breaks for extended recess and assumes a sticky and delicious ice cream afternoon sort of form.

Summer is here! Soak it up.

Family Camp



























was an experience of a lifetime. On a scale of 1-10, the kids gave it an 11. The surroundings allowed us to forget about daily worries, pollution and modern technology as a whole. All meals were prepared for us. Our accommodations were substantial. Relationships were rekindled and seeds were planted.
