Should have posted this yesterday, but I used that as a catch up day. Very excited to be back on track 🙂

WEEK 6, YEAR 1


Day 35 was hard 🙁  We took Alek to the airport to send him off for a 3-week dance intensive.  The longest I’ve been away from any of my kids has been an almost 1-week visit with their grandmother.  Needless to say, “mama’s freakin’ out!!”

Fathers Day Dinner.  Seared scallops with wilted Asian slaw. The kids told me they as good as Chef Ramsey’s.  Haha!  As long as no one calls me a stupid donkey, we’re good.

In my world, dragonflies = faeries.  This one landed on me an then was kind enough to pose for a picture.

Pretty girls.  We stopped by the park after dance camp and played in the water.  Does my heart good when sisters are friends.

Yeah!!!  My girls are learning something from Winnie Cooper 🙂  We picked up the ‘middle school’ book for Ravynn. She read it in two days and said that it was a “nice review”.  She’s now moved on to a pre-algebra workbook.

Girls night! Ravynn did my hair in a fishtail braid that she learned from her new American Girl magazine.

Yes, we got behind again. Life… you know…

WEEK 5, YEAR 1


The girls wanted to take a walk around town looking for Walking Men Project statues.  As we hunted around AU for their contribution, the girls took the opportunity to walk the fountain.  Ravynn was a little more sure of her footing than Whisper was.

Nature at Shadyside.

No matter where you go in Anderson, you WILL be stopped by a train.  When we stopped for our third of the day, we decided to take a picture.

More nature at Shadyside.  I love when ‘in color’ photographs look black and white.

Flat Stanley [from Cali] with the big grafitti eyeball we found in an alley downtown.

Researching and writing at Panera.  In fact, those are my plans for today as well.
