"Cavin" by the lake





























This is how we spent my Mom & Dad's 38th wedding anniversary with the Michaud family!

I have a confession:





my secret passion is fishing and I have so turned into one of those "old fishermen" that hates jet skiers, speed boats, and anything else that will interfere with "my" calm waters!


*this is my big brother Mike, and many other fun water activities is how we spent the weekend at the lake with my family-more photo's to come soon.


**the fish was 1 of 3 that I caught...but were all too small to keep, and so (with the help of my husband) made it safely back into the water!

"Doods" day table setting.




This morning the girls set the table "extra" special for daddy...including a gift certificate for a special snack and handmade cards sealed with extra hearts!!

Everything she needs to know...




Piper learned in Kindergarten!


Today is the beginning, the start, the first of many. She no longer needs me to hold her hand, to be the one to read to her (she reads to me), she no longer requires me to walk her into school, she brushes her own hair and teeth, pours her own milk, ties her own laces, and decides what she will wear for the day.


Today Piper is a 1st grader!

Chris & his "camping hat"








The only thing Chris wanted for his birthday this year was a "camping hat" to match the girls' he bought earlier this spring. Being an engineer (and in Chris fashion) he had a few requirements; it must be waterproof, be able to float, made of Gortex material, rain, sun, and wind proof, and to match his Gortex coat we bought for him last year!


We decided to "jokingly" make his special hat instead and test out all the requirements. In the end it didn't quite meet inspection and so we indeed had to bring that embarrassing list to all the sport stores of B'ham!!


This, along with many other reasons is why we love our engineer Daddy!!


Happy Birthday Chris!!
