While Laura is at camp, we are taking a little TX road trip with Colin. He was thrilled to have a new magazine to read en route to Austin.

After much anticipation, Laura’s farewell at camp lasted about 30 seconds. She is so thrilled to be there, and we hope that her three weeks are as wonderful as she expects.

At least she grudgingly posed for a photo!

We couldn’t get brioche bread this morning, but settled for a fresh squeezed lemonade to share.

Colin has started taking archery lessons. He was really happy with this result for one of his arrows. Now to get the same result with every shot!

It’s been nearly six months – quite possibly the longest I have gone in my life without a haircut, at least since I grew hair around age two.

It feels so much better!

First camping trip of 2021 in Texas. Lots of rain, lots of mud, lots of fun and stories.

Cliff was driving to Dallas so the kids and I went for a short hike.

The kids were excited to see the ice cream truck in the neighborhood today! It comes through most summer days, so even though they had a treat today, we had to remind them that no, this will not happen every time the truck comes by.

The kids are loving having a pool, and we haven’t even come close to peak summer heat yet!

Everybody helps with painting! Colin’s job was removing all the hardware – he had a lot to get through!
