We just love picture day.

It's not just about keeping record of the growing belly, 

which has been great fun.

But it is also about keeping Phillip updated. 

Although he and Katie talk, face-time, and text daily,

I email him the picture every Thursday after I edit it. 

I try to get it emailed before they have their 

goodmorning/goodnight 

call. 

He calls the girls every morning when he wakes up to tell them good night. 

Tomorrow night, he will spend his first night in their new, old house! 

I can't wait to get pictures of the house after they have their stuff moved in. 

Until next time

God Bless!!

This week has been girls week.

Tiger has been out of town.

Grumpy has been out of town. 

When Mattie found out Lolo was home alone, she said

"Lolo, just stay with us this week! We'll have slumber parties every night!"

Well how do you say no to that?

So I have been at my mom's all week with my girls!

It's been fun!

Until next week

God Bless

Running a few days late!!

We have been enjoying summer. 

The girls love living out in the country.

Mattie has quickly turned into a country girl, 

Mud Pies

Forts

Climbing Trees

With no camps and no karate competitions to practice for

days are spent with Mommie and Tiger. 

Well, she did attend a two day art camp at ACU. 

Loved every minute of it!! 

She is one creative kid!!

And she is anxiously awaiting her little brother!

She is going to be a great big sister!! 

Katie and Moose are doing great! 

He is growing and healthy!

We all miss Phillip,

but he is getting their new home ready! 

And I think he is working some!! (LOL)

Until next week!!

WOW!!

It has been a VERY busy week.

Monday we celebrated Memorial Day. 

Well, celebrate isn't exactly the right word to use. 

We remembered all those that have given their all for this wonderful country we live in, 

and we also said goodbye to Phillip. 

He has moved to Germany. 

He is anxiously waiting for the rest of his family to arrive. 

Katie and Mattie spent one last night in the apartment before the movers came in and started packing everything up. 

The have moved in with Mom and will stay there until time for them to leave. 

They have almost got a schedule down to FaceTime with Phillip but it will be a little easier once school is out. 

Which is tomorrow!!

Mattie has one more day as a 3rd grader!!! 

She is growing way too fast!!

Next week she has two days at Maker Academy at ACU. 

She is really looking forward to that.

Next week, we can start to slow down and start enjoying the summer. 

We continue to get rain!! 

Thank you Lord!! 

There is a lot of flooding, 

but we have a few lakes that have not really gained any water.

We continue to pray that rains keeps coming until those lakes are full. 

Happy Summer!!

Until next week, 

God Bless.

Until next week, 

God Bless.

I say PJ will be another martial artist!!

Katie says he is kicking all the time!!!

They've had a great week. 

Phillip has been helping Mattie with a school project all week. 

It is complete and ready to turn in on Monday. 

Grumpy and I aren't allowed to see it until Sunday though. 

Mattie also had her GT Showcase this week 

She walked Grumpy and Phillip through three projects. 

Katie and I took pictures. 

It was a great night. 

This weekend, we don't have anything planned 

Except rest. 

We all deserve it, 

Especially Frank. 

He's had several late nights this week.
