Back to school!! Wow! I can't believe it's finally here. The girls have been in school for 2 days now and it's been nice =-) It's quiet in the house and the pitter-patter of big feet is gone for now. They're both already getting busy w/things at school. Alix is having volleyball tryouts this week and Shelby is completely absorbed w/color guard as they have a football game this Saturday at Texas Stadium. Keeping us busy, but it's good to finally be in that place again. No regrets w/homeschooling Shelby last year, but very thankful we're not doing it again =-)

Here are they're First Day of School pics...

Well, I joined the ranks of Facebook members=-) I wasn't quite sure of the fascination of it, but since I started using it more, I've found some old friends from waaaaaaay long ago! It's been cool finding out how people are doing, what their family is like, etc. It's cool! If you've got a facebook, let me know and I can add you as a friend and we can keep in touch!
My birthday went by quietly, which I am thankful for. Mike did a lot to ease my load that day and treated me like a princess...the girls even remembered me and gave me cards and gifts. It was good and I'm thankful for each day that God gives me =-) (which is approaching MANY days!!)

Our anniversary "staycation" weekend was great! We had fun doing things and going places we don't normally go, ie; Dallas Farmers Market. They had a melon there that I hadn't heard of before called and "Israel Melon". I'm not sure where the name comes from but my goodness, was it good! Very sweet and sort of a combination of cantaloupe and honeydew. Good stuff.

We also went to the botanical gardens in Grapevine and took some pics. It was fun...extremely hot, but fun! I've put a couple on here for your viewing pleasure =-) We also went to Central Market in Southlake on Friday evening for dinner and listen to a live band. It was cool...not in the "weather-sense", but just the whole experience.

We have Mike's cousin, Stephanie, coming in tomorrow. She lives in Michigan and is here visiting her dad. We haven't seen her in years, so it'll be good to catch up and spend some time with her. We may need a trip to Sam Moon's while she's here, though!

Have a great one!
