Back at the drawing board...

Art lessons with Miss Mary Ann are under way.

This is Mary Mauldin's latest offering...

sunflowers in summer.

Back to school!

Summer is over and we are off to school! The girls are so excited - great teachers and friends in their classes. Camden is also thrilled (I know it is difficult to tell), but he has a great teacher and friends in his class - finally! He is no longer the odd man out...hopefully the smiles (all three of them) will continue through the year.

Happy anniversary to me!

Since we spent the summer traveling across the country, Marshall and I thought that we would spend a quiet evening at home for our anniversary. The strawberry pecan salad with wonderful, the pasta was fantastic, but the best part? Watching my 10 year-old clean the entire kitchen! Not only did he load and start the dishwasher, he cleaned pots and counters and even put the salt and pepper shakers back in the right spot. He also had some help from his little sister. Definitely an anniversary to remember!

The Secret Garden...

is in Melina's room! I spent a day in her room

adding a few flowers to coordinate with the

festive decorating Whitney displayed.

When I asked Melina if she liked the new view,

she offered her standard reply - "No."

Maybe they will grow on her...

Fun in the Sooner State!

few snapshots from the vacation...you can tell that there was never a dull moment during the week! Mary Mauldin spent time in the pool while Caelan and Camden explored the Omniplex with their cousins.
