Sherman Dog and Friend

I found some Sherman pictures on my latest batch of film, so I suspect that Katharine has been using the camera again.

And here is a pic that Kate requested from me over this past weekend- her giving Emma a big hug.

Distant Frousins

Meghan and the kids are moving to Wisconsin next week, so we have been trying to get in as much frousin time as possible.

It is hard to see them go, but even harder to believe that they will not find a way to stay in touch and remain close.

But in the meantime, some parting shots..

High on Texas

We went to Six Flags today, and Katharine took this cool selfie.

Many Masks

The boys have been creating orc masks over the past week.

Wins and Winks

Lennon's team won their bracket in the Classic League Qualifying Tournament this past weekend, and made it into Division 1 for this season.

Lennon had a goal and two assists, while playing a few new positions for the first time. This year is shaping up to be a great experience for him.

But in the meantime..

A Half Day at the Beach

“It is a happy talent to know how to play.” 
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

So we played at the beach at Lake Ray Roberts today. Well, not all of us, Lennon played soccer.

A Baptist church from Dallas had adult baptisms in the lake, which was quite wonderful to watch. It was obvious that each of these adults were full of joy. Lots of singing, cheering and clapping.

Dallas World Aquarium

The kids and I went to the Dallas World Aquarium this week. We learned a lot (because there is not a day we don't learn). It had been a few years since our last visit there - we had forgotten all about the beauty of the colors and textures in the deep sea.

Texas Sky

All I want for Christmas is a Play-mobile Hospital Set..

Kassidy lost another tooth tooth today, so she now officially needs her two front teeth. Kind of a right of passage, I suppose.

But don't ask her if she wants them for Christmas, she would rather have the merchandise instead.

Out Foxed

Lennon went up against his best friend Fox this weekend (he is the goalie), playing his first games with FC Dallas.

Fox made a great save to stop that shot, but Lennon would move on to score his first goal with the team during the next game.

Next time, Fox. 

Next time..
