Thank you, Heavenly Father.

Grannyhood

Devlin spent the night.
That led to a fun morning, with Granny and Devlin entertaining themselves with waffle blocks from way back when.
I present to you the castle. And the houses. I introduced the concept of a village, but "no, they are houses" Devlin says.

And this, my friends, is a "house car."
And a very cute boy.

Later in the day, this adorable child came to visit.
She set the table for Mr. Pig....

...talked on the phone, and furnished the doll house quite masterfully.

Grannyhood.
Pretty much my favorite.

Cross Country Round Two

It is Wednesday, and that meant...another cross country meet for Holly. I was lame and didn't take my camera, but just let me give you the scoop:

With three schools competing, Holly placed second for Taylor.
With three schools competing, Holly placed second overall!

Go Holly! Go Taylor! The boys and the girls both won their meet! Wahoo!

This Girl

Who came in second for Taylor at the first cross country meet last week?

Who came in fourth over all with three schools competing in said meet?
*and*
Who got invited to run with Mesa High at an Invitational on Saturday?

This girl.


And who is proud of her?
Um, that would be me.

{Way to go, Holldoll.}

Chillaxin

What'cha gonna do when you need the reading glasses and it is sunny? Apparently you do this.








Thanks all you cousins, friends, and family who made this day on Huntington Beach so chill. Till next time...

May God Bless and Keep You

A neighborhood united in love for some of our own.

Faith and hope lifting heavenward.

I believe in miracles.

Know that we love you Christian and Stephanie.


May Heavenly Father hold you close as you recover.

Kinda Creepy

If you were to come to my house today, you might see my snail vine creeping across my front porch. It is kinda hard to miss. The vines are actually planted on either side of the garage, and my plan/goal was to have them creep together over the garage. Mission accomplished.... periodically I even give them a haircut so we can get the cars in and out of the garage. What I didn't exactly expect was that they would also creep across the porch and maybe even threaten to take over the universe. And maybe, just maybe, I might love it.
