Enjoying the Ride

Last Friday, we went to dinner with the Grands. We're lucky that they don't live far. The Hip Chicks get to see them often. We ate Thai food and then went to the cake shop for cupcakes.

I could never get enough of seeing the girls laugh together. We were singing Laurie Berkner and shakin' our shakey eggs.

Natalya: "Mommy, why are you taking a picture of the cupcakes!?"
Me: "Because they look so pretty."
Natalya: "But I bet they taste even better than they look. Can we eat them now?"

Sweet V with Grandpa.

No More Pencils, No More Books

Today was Natalya's first day of Summer vacation. We slept in a little and hung out by the pool.

And it's just no fun without Rockey. Rockey loves to play with the water just as much as the girls do.

The framing is going up! Despite all of the rain, some work is still getting done.

Rain Rain Go Away

And it's STILL raining. We didn't do any exploring this weekend. We did go to dinner one night in downtown Boerne. After dinner we decided to walk Main Street. We didn't get far. The rain came down and we ducked into a doorway. Daddy had to run in the rain and get the truck.

This is My Best Shot Monday. Check us out.

Pomp and Circumstance

The school year ends as quickly as it began and so Natalya graduates. From kindergarten. And who wouldn't cry as they play My Wish by Rascal Flats as your daughter walks up the mini stage dressed in the most noble red cap and gown. Her kinder class had a whopping 7 kids in it (yep, only 7.) They sang the months of the years in English and Spanish while hand signing and then they did the Cha Cha Slide. Apparently this is a dance that only the cool people know because it was new to me until a couple of weeks ago.

Natalya always seemed wise beyond her years and often talked like she was a 40 year old. But tonight, she was my baby. A baby who is growing way too fast. I can't help but hope that the next time she wears a cap and gown that she'll still be calling me "Mommy" and will still let me hold her hand. We may be a little biased, but we think she'll go far.
