Summer Drawings

We’re still working on summer here.  The humming birds seem to be gone (or are they just down the block now?). 

The girls are both well and happy!  Yippee! 

Grace is still drawing everything.  She enjoys drawing so much.  Some of her ideas are so cute.

She takes her time and comes up with some really detailed stuff at times.

I should photograph all of her work, but I haven't. I am trying to save her best though.

I hope summer is going well for all of you out there.  Enjoy the sun.

Thanks for listening~

Summer's Here!

Of course it doesn't mean the sun is out..... Its been raining almost every day for weeks. When it doesn't rain we try to go out for a walk or work in the yard. Our garden, that I watched over so carefully in the beginning is a mess. The weather hasn't been conducive to good growth, except for weeds.

Yesterday for the 4th we had a visit from my sister. She brought her granddaughter and her little niece. We took all the girls, Emily included, and went poly-wog hunting. Oh boy, that was a big hit. Grace has a jar with poly-wogs that are in every stage of metamorphosis. As soon as they climb the sides of the jar and can hop around I told her she needs to take them out and release them. It looks like they will be the little green froglets.

Emily wasn't very excited about frog and poly-wog hunting and sat staring off into space. Well, that is what I thought, ended up she was having a seizure. It turned into a full blown thing and so we came home. But Emily has been doing well, and is very happy these days. I showed her she can talk/see Grandma on the computer. It was a fun surprise for her to see Grandma on our computer in real-time. I think I'll use this idea during school time. She will be able to see kids in her class at school when she is home. That should be a big hit.

We're not going anywhere special this summer, just doing things in our community. I'm trying to take the girls to the library once a week. Grace gets home and reads her books in the first couple of days and is ready to go back! She is a very good reader.

My business is going well. I'm enjoying having a business, even the books part of it. I don't have everything mastered, but I can take care of it.

I hope each of you are having a wonderful summer. If you need anything embroidered just let me know.
