Mama Bear Sends the Photos

Hey, my kids read the blog and pay attention to what I say! So here are a couple other photos from the photo shoot Larry did.  The second photo is the one I chose to go with the one of Kara by herself for our bedroom wall.  I really like the third one better but I needed a landscape, not portrait, photo to make the rest of the photos work. 

We went to church Saturday, then to Joe's in Conroe to eat with Gerre and Barry before going to their house to play cards and exchange our Christmas gifts.  Gerre's grandson Ross asked Gerre if I wasn't her friend anymore because that one lonely present was still sitting there after Christmas.  We can only imagine what goes through the little ones' heads. 

Today I worked four hours at the thrift shop and now I am full steam ahead to get ready for our departure next Monday.  Chris will be coming back since his folks are now settled in their new house.  We had someone else take care of things at home when we went to Europe.  It will be good to have him back staying at the house in our absence.  I'm just glad the house shouldn't burn up (oven) or blow up (water heater) now that Bill has fixed those things.  The alarm problem and toilet leak came up while Bill was here and he fixed them in no time.  I told him if he waited I could probably break something else or at least find something else that needed to be fixed.  He has been gone since Saturday and so far so good!

Beauty can be seen in all things, seeing and composing the beauty is what separates the snapshot from the photograph. ~ Matt Hardy
