Grandma's galore!

Chris and I were able to take a two week family vacation this year, one week was spent in Santa Rosa at my mom's and the other spent here with Chris' mom. This last week, we had some great fun, and wore the girls out pretty good! But we got to go to St. Helens, and pick some really yummy Sauvie's Island berries, and go swimming, and eat great BBQ. All the good summer stuff jam packed into a week with Grandma! Here is a slideshow of our action-packed two weeks!

Artsy Fartsy

This is how I have always referred to artsy people....probably because I have not one artsy bone in my body....but last week I got to take Annabelle to Art Camp at Compass (kinda like our church's VBS), where they teach students K-6th grade art and art techniques according to their grade level. So this was Annabelle's official introduction to art, and she loved it. She is in a phase where she loves to be creating and coloring anything on paper anyway, so she had a blast! Here are a few of her pieces...the rest is still on display at the church.
