What a full week

* I worked nearly every day in some way. Yay!

* Jim finally put in a normal work week after MANY overtime weeks in a row.

* Ayla had her second volleyball game and has been challenged to get organized with her heavy 6th grade homework load.

* Dody watched the kiddos while Jim and I had a datenight on Thursday. It's amazing how a few hours alone can feel like an entire vacation together. Thanks Dody!

* We had a beautiful time this weekend celebrating my little brother Edward at his wedding to sweet Abbey. Friday night was the rehearsal dinner out at the Salt Lick. So yummy and a beautiful evening. Saturday was the wedding.... Abbey was so gracious and gorgeous. Such a treat to be a part of their weekend. We love you both so much and wish you a lifetime of happiness.

* Saturday was also our sweet dog Max's birthday, so today, Ayla insisted we take him out for some celebrating. There's no place on earth Max would rather be than at the Ranch... so we packed up a picnic and let Max have a birthday romp. He swam, and ran, and rolled in everything he could find. He LOVED it. Jim caught a few fish and tested out his waiters he bought for his salmon fishing trip next month. Henry had a great time hanging outside in the buff. (After a big poop, I realized I didn't pack any extra diapers... oops!) Dad and Jan saved the day with a spare at their house. HAPPY 7th BIRTHDAY MAX!





I am exhausted with such a full week and weekend, but grinning from ear to ear all the while. This week is a little more low key during the days... but I'm teaching 2 nights and all day Saturday, so I've got a lot of work to get that info together.
Yall have a good week! ~ Mama s
