Dr. Caroline

Caroline’s 2nd grade class project this week was to “What I want to be when I grow up.”  She had a lot of fun with this.  Her passion is animals.  Caroline has the biggest heart and the biggest draw to animals.  Fortunately her research was fun.  We went to visit our local vet, Dr. Bernal.  He was amazing with Caroline giving her information and answering all of her questions.  Caroline even got her own purple stethoscope, gloves and syringe.  Her presentation was adorable.  Watch the 3 minute video!                                ...

Girls Weekend

Friends from Orlando came for the Memorial Day weekend.  What a blast for Cindy to reunite with Jill, and Carly with Christina, Caroline with Meghan.  Their friendship dates back 8 years when they all lived in south Florida and joined Daisies/Girl Scouts!  Had time to swim, play games, shop and catch up on life.  Thanks to Jim for cooking, serving drinks for all the girls—and putting up with a house full of ladies!                                        ...

Spring Visitors

A busy busy springtime with visits from our friends and family up north. Grandpa Don (Cindy’s Dad) and Grandma Jean of Richmond, VA haven’t seen the girls in about 3 years.  So this was a lovely reunion.  Cindy and Jim met up with Don and Jean in September in Dallas for a Cowboys game.  Jim, a Patriots fan, is still keeping that visit quiet. They came for just a weekend, so the visit was short but sweet, full of time in the pool, games, smores and catching up! That same week, Cindy’s college pal, Rick, and his family came.  Wonderful to see his twins growing up, his fun wife and her mom.  The gang spent the day in the pool.  The girls loved playing with little kids! So come on down.      ...

Piano Girl

Caroline, age 7, has begun her musical career.  With an interest in piano, coupled with the discovery of a talented retired piano teacher, Caroline has begun plunking away.  Jim and Cindy lucked into a 1941 Wurlitzer upright piano through a couple from their church, St. Paul’s.  Every once in a while, Cindy sneaks in and plays too.  She’s dusting off her piano skills from her childhood!  And then there’s Jim, who plays by ear, and just has the incredible talent to pick up an instrument and just play.                                          ...
