Once upon a Pea...

Actually, it's the story "The Princess and the Pea" turned musical "Once Upon A Mattress"! The Summer of Fine Arts program here in our county auditions students from all of the schools in the south of the county for this one production. It's really great because they get to know other kids from area schools and attend each other's school productions throughout the year! The kids get college credit too! What a funny musical! The actresses and actors in this were soooooo funny and talented. It was really fun to watch. I took quite a few photos over the course of about a week of rehearsals and posted them all on my Facebook for the kids to see. Will was in the chorus and had a part as a dancer, Sir Harold :) Here are a few photos...

I love you...

A tribute to a beloved family member can take many forms. I have seen window decals on cars, buildings with names on them, a beautiful monument. This tribute made me cry because it was so very personal. We have been praying for Ann and her family ever since her diagnosis of pancreatic cancer in 2007. Life IS what YOU make it.
As Ann would say, "Much Agape."

Happy 4th of July!!!

...or Happy Celebration Day! That's what they used to say when my mom was young!


Fun pics of fireworks...Sparkler pics with a couple of boys, so don't be shocked :)




Ha! This last one is my sweet Sam! His older brother thought it was too funny...that sealed it.
Hope all is well with all with everyone :)
