Boating, Grapes, and Butterflies

We had a fun time in Florida again! I hated to leave. First we went to the river. Thalia got to go boating (and drive the boat!), catch and release minnows, and see Little Bit and Brandy! Then we picked grapes at a vineyard. How fun! And we went to the butterfly garden at the [...]



Messy Mess

So we’re driving home from the pool. I gave her some trail mix to snack on in the car. When we get home and pull into the garage, I turn around and Thalia says in this sweet little voice, “I spilled it”. Oh my gosh. What a mess! I was about to get mad, then [...]



Carousel

We had a fun weekend. We had a picnic on Saturday and had Mike and Danna over to play Settlers of Catan. We had a lot of fun. And Thalia was a good girl entertaining herself by chasing the dogs all over the house. She was super hyper because she got to stay up late. [...]



Thalia with the Barkley Boys

We had lunch with Michelle, Robert and Joe last week. Thalia was shy at first, as usual. Then she opened up a bit. The kids made quite a mess at the restaurant, but we all had fun anyway. Then we went to the park in Old Colorado City and the kids played on the stage [...]



Pico de Gallo

We did our usual grocery shopping this morning. We’ve taken a strong liking to a natural food store in town called Sunflower. They have really good prices and the freshest, yummiest food. Today I decided to make some salsa. I was shocked to discover that it turned out delicious and beautiful. So I had to [...]



A Day of Throw Up

We were supposed to go to the gym for yoga, then the playground for an hour, then our first swimming lesson today. But instead Thalia is throwing up. As soon as I think she is getting better, she throws up some more. She can’t keep anything down, but she doesn’t have a fever. I think [...]



LOTS of stuff

I just don’t seem to have the time I used to for posting here these days. Thalia, AL and I keep very busy. Every week we have our mom groups, music lessons, yoga, weights or running at the gym, weekly 5k at Salsa Brava, dog training, MAJOR gardening, hiking groups, swimming lessons… I’ll be adding [...]

Thalia’s Music Class

Thalia’s music class with her teacher, Miss Ro, has ended for the school year. She had a wonderful time. And we’ll be attending a few summer sessions with Daddy as well! Here is her end-of-year pamphlet. It’s very cute. And she’s changed so much!



Playing in Florida

Thalia and I took another trip to Florida. We swam. We boated. We relaxed. We played. We sunned. We had so much fun. And here is some proof. (By the way, the first five pictures are of Thalia in Colorado… hence the heavy jacket.)
