Art Museum Camp!
Brian starts his new Ancient Adventures camp at the NC Museum of Art today! He seems excited, and I know we are already loving the convenience of the location, and the full day schedule! Grandmother has been on my mind since her passing, and even though it’s not Christmas (or even Christmas in July!) today I took out and looked at the ornaments she sent me when I got married. One precious walnut basket that Granddaddy made, and a beautiful double-ring crocheted ornament she made for...
Read MoreScanning Day, The Third
Today we were back out at Grandmother’s house to finally wrap up the scanning project. Before heading out, we had a little playtime at home. We’d been watching some SNL Best-Of videos, and Brian had really taken a liking to Dana Carvey’s “Choppin’ Broccoli” bit. Kendall was baking her cookies, while Brian was decorating the piano with play broccoli and recreating the scene his own way! Then, we headed out to Z-town. Brandon and I finished up the...

Kendall’s summer pictures from Goddard are here! She’s big enough to have pony pictures now, instead of the beach pictures the little ones have. So cute! She was excited to tell us about her pony ride the day these were taken....
Read MoreKendall’s Cats
Kendall loved her cats this evening! Of course, Lion is usually tops, but Orange Kitty and Pokey Leopard (we don’t get it either, but that’s what his name was on the tag, and she thinks it’s hilarious, so it stuck!) are also her buds. I just thought she was cute, with a cat in each...
