Art Class - Monet's Water Lilies

Another neat art class! This time we learned about Monet. That he enjoyed painting outdoor landscapes and was one of the painters that developed the impressionistic style. We emulated his art style with cool colors of tissue paper to make his favorite pond with water lilies.

Time with Gramma Jan

This sums it up!

Happy Birthday, Nick in Germany!

We mailed Nick's birthday and Christmas present this month because his birthday is October 1st. Lane made this especially for him. Unfortunately we had to fold it flat for mailing, but we sent this picture so hopefully he could expand it back to it's intended form when he gets it. Will be fun to meet Nick in person one day! (And for me to get to visit with his mama in person again!)

Aunt Janie's 60th Birthday Party!

I did not get pictures of many of the people that were there... but this is what I got :)!

Happy Birthday, Janie! We love you!

Noody Boody in the Sand and Fairy Garden

This is the start of the Fairy Garden under the Coral Honeysuckle. We're also going to make a sunflower and/or bean pole teepee in the spring!

From underneath, you can see the abandoned nest in the Coral Honeysuckle. I wonder if it belonged to the sparrows or the cardinals.

Nap with Daddy

Chad wasn't sure when the shoes arrived. I guess he fell asleep first :).

Visit with Grandpa Rufus

Grandpa wanted to visit the Local Yocal in McKinney and a tree farm in a town just a little farther east than McKinney. He met us in Frisco and we went from there. We had a fun morning and afternoon!
