Pickin' Blueberries

We recently found out that our very good friends, Dave, Tina, Sam, Caedmon and Sarah Jane are going to be moving to Oklahoma. Dave accepted a job at OK State. We are really going to miss them, but have decided while they are here, we're gonna live it up!! Monday after Library time we went to the park. Today, Blueberry picking and Friday the pool! It got hot on us pretty fast today but we still managed to come away with a couple pounds of berries.

Happy 10th Birthday

Well, this past Wednesday, Nathan celebrated his 10th Birthday! We were able to spend it in Texas and take him to the Ft. Worth Zoo.

I am truly in awe of how fast these 10 years have gone and what a special boy he is. God has amazed me with His blessings! I am so privileged to be Nathan's Mom! Nate, you'll never know how much you mean to your Dad and me! We love you and are so proud of you!

There and Back Again

Wow! We have sure been on the go a lot recently. First the Smoky Mountains, then to AR for a visit with the folks, and we just returned from a quick trip to Dallas. We had a wonderful time in Dallas. A few things have changed, but it still felt like home. It was wonderful to see some friends and spend a few hours catching up. The only down side to the trip was that it just wasn't long enough to see everyone and do everything!

Amy: It was so great to see you! I really enjoyed our time together. Thanks so much for organizing the luncheon so I could visit with other friends. I know the kids had a great time too!

Fred & Barbra: It was so good to visit with you all. Thank you for your hospitality and friendship. You all are wonderful!

Sounds Crazy

Well, we have officially not done school for about a month. We have taken a week to go to the Smokys with family, been to Arkansas to see my family and are leaving for Dallas in two days...yet with all of that I actually miss the "structure"of our school day. The kids of course aren't complaining about the break, but I miss it. Allen says I should take this time to get some special projects done, and he's right, so I'll work on those...but I want this summer to be fun, especially for the kids. I want them to feel like we have had a good break and a fabulous summer!! So fair warning friends, we plan to be calling ya'll! (See, I haven't forgotten my Texas roots! lol)
