He amazes me...



I believe in God and I believe in Science.  I wrestle between the two from time to time (especially when answering my kids' never-ending questions) but I think that is healthy and human.

So far this summer the kids have done a variety of camps including Vacation Bible School and a science camp focused on inventions.

Yesterday while driving GMAC asked me if one of his ideas for an invention would make him a famous scientist.  His idea for an invention was a machine that could help people on Earth talk to people in heaven.  I LOVE that he ponders things like this.  I LOVE that believes that this is possible. He LOVE that he has found a way to blend science and religion in his heart.  He amazes me.

We got "Lucky" !



Furry, Crazy Puppy


Handsome, Poised Puppy


We would like everyone to meet Marshal Lucky Stars Comer, "Lucky" for short.  He is a 12 week old Havachon and the love of one little girls' life ♥ 




And sometimes ....




I have a twin brother and I am very proud of that because I am very proud of him.  Many ask me what it is like to have a twin and my automated response has become "It is a special thing to have a twin...I have someone in my life who remembers my childhood exactly the way I do." Cool, huh ?   

While G&G are not truly twins (unless Irish Twins count !) I believe that they too will share so many memories equally.  I am so glad that they have one another ♥♥

(While I know that I could post more images of them NOT getting along, it is sooo much sweeter to post the one's where they are !)

A Project Oriented Boy



We spend A LOT of time at the new house.  For a very long time it has been muddy out there because of all of the rain but now it is getting mighty warm !  The kids have been troopers and I love to see them entertain themselves on the land.  This day GMAC decided to rid our backyard of weeds...and then stack them one by one on the back porch to measure his productivity.  I LOVE him and I relate to him more than anyone in this whole wide world.  
(This will be GFC's view out of her bedroom window!)

He LOVES me ♥




Oh, the Places You'll Go...


In the blink of an eye...


FIRST DAY OF KINDER                 LAST DAY OF KINDER

He went in like a champ and he came out like a champ !   I am so, so proud of this brilliant, hilarious little man !

                            FIRST DAY OF Pre-K                         LAST DAY OF Pre-K

This little beauty is everyone's friend, smart as a whip, and has a better sense of self than most adults!                                                              Watch out Kindergarten !

Grandmother's Mother's Day Tea with GFC




Breaking in our new Back Porch


PARKS !


All this time in Austin and believe it or not there was still a park we had not explored !  The day we came to this one (which will be our closest one to our not house) the storm clouds were already approaching but we made the best of our time.  

Bio-luminescent FUN !



    Dusk comes coincidentally JUST as the kids and I are preparing for bed at night yet some nights Matt will still snatch the kids from their nighttime routine and take them outside to catch Lightning Bugs. They love it and I cannot complain. I do wonder though...why are lightning Bugs so slow  ?
