Visit

This weekend my sweet brother and niece paid our family a visit and it was nice. Lots of eating, resting, talking, and of course swimming. I even got a great car wash out of the visit!!!! So great to stay connected to the people that we love and care for. Family visits are so special.

Estuary field trip

We participated in a great field trip with out homeschool group. Who knew that we had such an awesome and perfect estuary in our back yard. So much surrounds us, you just have to take the opportunities to see and enjoy.

Berries

It just doesn't get any better than swimming and eating drippy berries on a warm spring day! I love when the berries are plentiful and afordable. Happy days of Spring.

Carpenter Bees

We have been seeing all kinds of flying insects in and around the new pool. Rylee got close and friendly with a carpenter bee, boy these things sound ferocious but are really harmless!! Gotta take care of the bees.

This Girl

This girl was born without my detesting frog gene, it was all that I could do to take the picture without shrieking and having nightmares. We talk a lot about God given gifts and she always proclaims that holding frogs is one of hers.

The Duck

Last week my dear children discovered a DUCK in the yard, no momma or siblings anywhere in sight. So this is Patrick's homeschool duck project (note the emphasis on PATRICK'S). He is a cute little bugger. To be released into the WILD at a future date.

She is 6

This week my precious turned 6!! She is ever growing and ever changing and brings a smile to my face everyday. I love you Bailes.
