We’re heading out Sunday to visit family and soak up the sun at the beach. My house is clean, all our errands have been run, and all I have left to do is pack for the trip. Then, we’re off to build sandcastles with Drama Queen, see you when we get back!
Love, Velvia
Beach, here we [...]

Memorial Day was a great day, full of family fun, great food, and playing with the grandbabies. Phillip and Beth and the little ones came over in the afternoon and we grilled out hamburgers and hot dogs (veggie burgers for Beth), and had baked beans, a veggie tray, chips and dip, and watermelon. It was [...]

Drama Queen had her dance recital this past Saturday, and it was wonderful! I only got to see her dance, and the dance of the group of 3 and 4 year olds I had volunteered to help with, but what I did get to see of it was great! They put on Alice in Wonderland and each dance class took [...]

WONDERFUL MOTHER
God made a wonderful mother,
A mother who never grows old;
He made her smile of the sunshine,
And He moulded her heart of pure gold;
In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,
In her cheeks fair roses you see;
God made a wonderful mother,
And He gave that dear mother to me.
–Pat O’Reilly

“M” is for the million things she [...]

I was looking through my photos on the computer and decided to post these adorable pictures of the grandbabies being silly. They brought a smile to my face when I was [...]

I thought I would post an update on our homeschooling and some of the fun things we’ve been learning lately. We just finished studying about sound in science and did several fun experiments. Science is Drama Queen’s favorite subject and experiments make her giddy with excitement! I’ve been trying very hard to make school more [...]
