Happy Summer!







Dallas has gotten a bit of a weather break in the past few days-it hasn't hit 100 degrees for over a week! That's unheard of for mid-July. Kevin and I have enjoyed this by riding our bikes almost nightly. I wish I had pictures from White Rock Lake on Tuesday-yes, we made it but not all of the way around-it was so serene and gorgeous. We also blew up our kiddie pool and had a nice afternoon in the backyard to cool off. You can see from the pictures that it was fun. For better or worse, our neighbors thought it was great and said they'd join us next time. We had hoped to go camping but our plans fell through. No worries though. Kevin set up a tent in our living room. All 4 of us slept in a tent in our living room all night....okay, not a lot of sleeping since Dirk is a bedhog! It was too much fun.


Hope that your summer is going well also.

Happy (late) 4th of July!







Kevin and I had a very relaxing and fun 4th of July weekend. The best part is that we bought bikes for ourselves. This is almost monumental for me since I've not ridden a bike since 3rd grade! I have been terrified for years to get on one. It went very well; we rode for about 5 miles this afternoon. I'm looking forward to a trip around White Rock Lake soon....after a LOT more practice of course. I included pictures of us biking and one of little Olive who's not so little anymore! She continues to be a wonderful addition to our family. She and Dirk are getting much more used to each other.



Hope you had a wonderful weekend. God bless you and God bless America!
