Arianna & Julianna in front of one of the art exhibits. Arianna takes an art class every other week for 2 hours. She made amazing art work this year. The teacher keeps all of the art until the art exhibit, where she puts all of her student's work on display. It is an exciting time especially for the students.
I love this picture! Can't wait to frame it
we received this play set from our friends who moved to Texas :(
the kids have been playing on it all the time! as have the neighbors:)
everyone has their favorite place to read...today this was Arianna's, mine was on the deck in the sun!
too cute not to post. Julianna received these headphones as a gift from her cousins.(not to worry, I have since taken them away from her at nap time, lest she strangle herself)
the two skorts I made for AriannaI've been having a lot of fun sewing lately :)
matching jumpers I made for the girls
sweet, sweet jumpers for Julianna
because afternoons are always this peaceful ;) , I thought I'd post this one. Next to new socks,there is nothing like new crayons and markers. The twistables crayons are the best~definitely worth the extra money
I flew 'home' for Mother's Day and had an absolutely wonderful time. It was so relaxing to spend time alone with my mom. I flew to Flint, MI on Thurs. night, and stayed the night at my sister Teresa's house. Friday morning my niece, Sarahlynn, cut and colored and highlighed my hair and in the afternoon my mom and I went home. We ate dinner together and in the evening we went to my sister Betz' house for a grad party for my nephew Aaron. Saturday after sleeping in, Mom and I went out for lunch, did some shopping, and enjoyed being together. In the evening we went out for dinner with my brother David and his wife Barb and my sister Betz and her husband Jack. Sunday we went to church, went to the cemetery, celebrated my 12th anniversary over the phone with Cor and had a Mother's Day celebration with my family at Betz' house. Sunday night I went back to MI with my sister Teresa. Monday afternoon I flew home after shopping and going out for lunch with Teresa. I had a great time away. I was so excited to go 'home' and I was equally excited to come back to my Cor and kids!
