Beautiful Morning

After 3 days of hot heat (which you know I don't enjoy HOT HEAT), I got up early to take Jeep for a walk to the campus. It was gorgeous! Blue skies, crisp air, bunnies hopping... just beautiful. Jeep was exhausted by the time we got home. I'm so glad I went. It would have been very easy to roll back over and go back to bed. But, when the sun is shining and there is a cool breeze, you just have to get moving!

4th of July Banner


I created this 4th of July banner this afternoon. Didn't take too long and super cute!

Amazing Parents!

Have you ever heard of Oprah's Big Give? Well, our wonderful preschool parents gave the preschool and staff a Big Give. We were presented last night (during the VBS BBQ) with all kinds of amazing gifts... I'm sure I won't get them all, but here is a list:
  • New Vacuum
  • New Stove
  • New Microwave
  • New sinks for the boys bathroom
  • New Faucets for the boys and girls bathrooms
  • New trikes/bikes
  • Hoola Hoops
  • School Supplies
  • $25 Office Depot Gift Card
  • $500 Learning Palace Gift Card
  • I know there's more... I just can't think
All of the teacher, aides and our director were speechless. I think it left a few church members speechless as well. We are so blessed to have such amazing parents at our school. Oh, the kicker for me was that this was orchestrated by a mom with one child on her way to kindergarten and one child entering preschool, another mom whose child will not be able to attend next year and yet another mom whose child will be attending for the first time in the fall, not to mention all of the wonderful current families!

I think I need to contact Oprah and share the story!

Another Birthday

I had a great birthday. Thanks for the calls and cards. My favorite part was seeing Tim McGraw in concert! Soooooo, much fun. Plenty of people to gawk at! I didn't take my camera along, but Joe had his phone. When he emails me the pictures, I'll post them! You can see great pictures here!

  • tried a science experiment
  • ironed
  • shrimp and scallop dinner
  • haircuts
  • fun with Jeep's kennel
You'll have to wait for the pictures!

A summer evening...

After a great dinner of scallops and shrimp, we headed outside. The kids rode bikes in the cul-de-sac with the neighbor girl, the dogs made their way out and we chatted in the middle of the rode with other adults. We ended in the driveway with an impromptu game of basketball (I drained all of my shots!) There was a breeze, the sun was out, the kids were happy and the dogs were accounted for... a beautiful summer evening.
