bebe bleu

Enjoying a warm {almost} summer evening with a dip in the pool.

We celebrated Memorial Day at the lake with "Nanny and PawPaw". We had a relaxing, low-key visit...fishing...swimming...fish-fry...
Case thoroughly enjoyed himself. Here he is lounging in his little pool, eating strawberries!

Pretty Bird

Gotta love this pic of C's cute "Great Nana" (A's Nana) in her new,red T-Bird convertible named "Pretty Bird" ...celebrating Memorial Day in style...

Today's obsession:

BOOTS!!!

2 days ago Case went into my closet and came out with my boots on....he wore them the rest of the evening...yesterday first thing he wanted "my boots, my boots" and was adamant about it....today I decided that it might be time to break out HIS boots (cute little Nordstrom boots...courtesy of The Fisher family) they are still a little big, but Case is not phased by that....we've had them on since 7:00 this morning and no sign of them coming off. Nevermind the fact that all he has on otherwise is a droopy diaper that he's currently refusing to let Mama change! :)
Love it! Too bad he won't always be this easily entertained.
J has the camera or I would post a pic...
Oh, and I forgot to mention that he insisted that I put on my boots as well. The next big trend...you ready for this?...layered cotton tanks, soffe shorts and brown snake skin tipped Justin boots! COUTURE FOR SURE! lol!
pics to come...

heartbreaking for all of them, but her brother will carry the guilt of this accident for as long as he lives... :(

luau!

We went to the SCS Senior Luau last night, had a great time, took pics of families, visited, had a great meal...thanks to the Jones Family for opening your beautiful yard/home!

the countdown is on!

Ice cream and other thought worthy topics

Okay, so I just watched Rob Bell's NOOMA video titled "RICH" (watch it and you'll understand the icecream reference) My intention was to post this particular video to our blog, but I don't want to limit you to one.
The way this guy delivers a message is good - very good - streamlined and efficient. So, if you want to be blessed...and gain some incredible insight...go to youtube, search Rob Bell, look for the videos that say "Nooma", and choose one. I haven't seen one yet that I couldn't identify with, or that I didn't gain insight from. "Rich" is a short one if you are pressed for time...choose the one that is 1 minute 29 seconds...there are longer versions of it as well.

Sorry, I know this was a bait and switch...

Here are a few updates:

The house is still on the market (we remind ourselves daily - scratch that - hourly that God is in control and it just isn't time to move yet)

For the past couple of weekends we've been visiting a church in FW...we want to try to make our move to FW (it will happen) as smooth as possible and we feel that this is one way to do that.

J has just been given a once in a lifetime opportunity for some travel abroad....this hopefully will also lead to some opportunities for study at a higher level (more on this later)

C is great...doing new things everyday and is just such a sweet, loving boy. He makes us laugh a lot...and that is truly a blessing.

I am excited for a girlfriend and her husband who have been praying for a baby for a long, long time....she is a wee bit past the 12 week mark! YAY! Praises.

We just booked our flight & condo. We are looking forward to the 2nd anual getaway to the Mayan Riviera with some friends from college.

My first group of 6th graders will graduate here in a few weeks - I'm not sure how I feel about that! I cannot believe it has been that long.
My first group of 1st grade students will start high school this fall. Wow!

I know, I know, I know...we haven't posted in a bit...we have been so busy with R&Co. stuff, school stuff, the house (yes, it is still on the market!....please say a little prayer for us...we're soooo ready for the house to sell so that Case can begin at Montessori a day or two per week and so that I can begin my new career, well schooling anyway, and so that J isn't making the drive to FW everyday) Whew!runonsentence! :)
These were taken a while back before the bluebonnets bit the dust. I love his little vest sweater (thank you S,E & E, what a sweet gift!)
