A Little Late...

Last Sunday my Erin turned 7 years old.

Seven years ago, she wouldn't let me go to sleep on a Friday night. Quietly letting me know that although she was scheduled for Monday (and Patrick & I had one last peaceful weekend planned), that she had other things in mind.

Since day one she has:

Kept us on our toes...

Kept us awake worrying about our parenting ability (or lack of)...

Amazed us with her eagerness to learn all things academic...

And her compassion for others.

I love you my big girl. You make us proud every day and I am so thankful to be your Mom.

~Stars Shine Brightly~

I loved the way the sun was shining on our National Guard neighbors flag this morning.

Beautiful!

It's Cowboy Day

Could there be a cuter ranch hand?

So Long Summer

Today, I think, officially marked the end of summer for us.

We tried to go swim one last time, but the water was just too cold!

Soon the sun will be setting before we are done playing...

The patches of grass under the swing have worn thin...

It will be dark when Dad gets home from work...

We might actually have weather cool enough for sane people to build a fire...

with marshmallows of course!

 

So long summer and thank you Lord.

I have cherished every moment.

He's Got Skillz

He Shoots....

He SCORES!

Vote For Me!

This morning we discovered a flyer on the door from a man running for Sheriff of our parish.

Luke & Erin asked what it was for, and I explained that the man wanted me to vote for him.

The day goes on.....

This evening, Patrick discovers it, still sticking out of the door and asks what it was.

Luke: "It's from a man who wants Mom to go boat riding with him."

I nearly fell on the floor!

Slide N Slip

Did I get that backwards?

No, I did not.

See?

That's entertainment.
