This little girl was so excited that she RAN to the beach each day

Frogs and tadpoles can provide hours of free entertainment.

Oh how they've been counting the days until our Memorial Day Weekend Camping...

Found this girl reading to herself.  :)

Haircut day! Suckers-yay! (or suckerballs at M. calls them)

SO excited about her new (used) rollerblades. And determined to learn how to use them!

Um, Mommy, are you sure this is OK?

Field trip fun

A friend from church and I will now be swapping kids once a week. :)

She loves tending to our little starter plants.

Surprised and spoiled with breakfast in bed! (And yes, Daddy indulges her preference to be dressed in a bathing suit.)

Neighborhood garage sale = perfect time for a lemonade stand (with retro pricing of 25 cents)

Both sleeping like a baby. :)

Thankful for Craft Night, where I get motivated to do things that sometimes turn out to be pretty cool!

One of the highlights of my year: the annual mentoring dessert. This year we had 170 people attend--what a blessing! Photo cred: Cindy
