First day of School




college bound

We gathered up lots of her belongings...


We rented a van and packed it full...





We got stuck in traffic and lost trying to find a certain building...and we waited in very, very long lines....hours long...
as of 7pm last night..........


She's moved in!!!!
I hardly had time to say good-bye before her new life whisked her away.
My precious daughter is on her own. Have the time of your life!
And....
Remember!!!
We love you!




We'll miss you ....
so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Flip-Flops

Don't peek if you are in the swap!


It's time for the flip-flop swap and here are mine. The flip-flops are made out of heavy white card stock and decorated with a variety of materials, fabric, ribbons, bits, vintage ticket stubs etc... The straps are velcro strips attached with tiny brads.








I'm excited to see what flip-flops get mailed back to me!

The Cone Comes Off Today!

For two weeks Bentley has had to wear a cone to protect his eyes. He was rubbing them so much against the rug that he got an infection. It was a loooooong two weeks with that cone.... and the whole house is celebrating now that it is off!!!
Here you can see Beemer holding court as Bentley tries to get in a few Z's!
