Winding Down

The school year is almost over. Our garden is growing taller and prettier every day. I just love to see the pretty flower colors. Mary Alice's birdhouse looks so pretty.


I rescued our falling apart backyard swing by sewing a new cushion cover (not the easiest project- little did I know....) and now we are enjoying it on the porch, since the awning is no longer useable. We bought a new one for the backyard and now we are enjoying both.


Matthew and Megan, playing lacrosse.


The cats enjoying a mid-day snooze.


We went camping for the weekend with Grandma & Grandpa. It was a short trip, but fun.



Matthew avoided the pictures, but he caught this nice fish and photographed him before tossing him back.


Megan enjoyed reading her books in the tent.


Mom & Mary Alice. Don't I look tall?? Megan took it from her perspective. Looks at my long legs!!


Megan & Mary Alice are making paper pulp at one of the camp workshops.


Roasting Marshmallows


Megan's friends from school. What a very nice group of girls.


And this is her very special Kindergarten Teacher. We appreciate her so much, as well as the rest of her dedicated team who helped Megan achieve so much this year. She is now reading many sight words, singing all the time and she NEVER stops talking, observing, commenting, adding on, asking questions and genuinely enjoying life. It is a pleasure to see this, as she is a child who did not speak more than 10 words in her native language 2 years ago. She is amazing and we have been blessed to have so many in her life that love her.
