A Picture for Today: First Splash Park Visit of the Season

While the kiddos (and Joe, actually - he got off early and has a softball game tonight) are napping, I thought I'd put up pictures from what we just got back from - the Splash Park! Yay!

A Picture for Today: Goodbye to Charlie and Rachel

The May/June time of year is the big moving time of year in the military, so there are always a moving truck or two in our neighborhood these days. Thérèse, our little emotional and sentimental one, takes it pretty hard knowing that we are staying while "everyone else" is moving on. Yesterday night we had our official last meal with our dear friends, Charlie and Rachel. God bless you at your next post and we will miss your company (and great board games)!

Love, Us.

A Picture for Today: A "Little Barb and Gail" in Many Ways

On many occasions I have noticed how Thérèse takes after both of her grandmothers in numerous ways. She takes her time doing things and is very analytical (Oma). She is also very emotional and LOVES her family (Mom). She is also very artistic (both of you), but she prefers the medium of watercolor, just like Grandma Barb. I came down this morning to find her working away at her newest masterpiece.

(And check out how well she holds her pencil without a prompt! Woohoo!)

Love, Us.

A Picture for Today: Croc Kids

I need to start keeping my camera handy, because I had to go a week or two back to find a new picture for today. I don't know who thought up the idea of crocs, but they were BRILLIANT! I don't know about you, but I think my life would be just a bit more difficult without these durable, easy-to-slide-on shoes! FYI: Patrick's feet aren't quite this big. And plus, they are too "tall" (chubby) to fit into them successfully yet!

Love, Us.

A Picture for Today: Star Wars Sidewalk Art

David is currently into Star Wars, along with many other types of super-heroes and "princes". So, he was super excited when he found out that a cadet we met at a gathering the other evening was able to add some Jedi figures to his sidewalk chalk art. Wow... Yoda!

FYI - I wasn't a very attentive mom when we left for this gathering. It was SUPER hot (like the hot where if you were wearing nothing you would still be unbearably hot, and that is even without humidity!). And, I failed to take note that David had dressed himself in heavy sweatpants and rubber boots. Oops! He survived, but we made him chug water the whole time. El Paso is HOT... and summer is just arriving! Indoor pools, here we come!

Love, Us.

A Picture for Today: Six Great Years!

The result of those years...

A Picture for Today: MCCW Last Meeting

I thought I'd post this picture we took yesterday at our last MCCW meeting of the year. I was treasurer this year, but decided not to take a leadership role next year, as I get my feet securely under me with homeschooling the kiddos. This is a bunch of GREAT ladies (and wonderful Fr. Marufo)!

Love, Us.
