Alex Homework

Sunday afternoon, Annette worked with Alex on his kindergarten homework. Even though Monday was an off day at school, homework still needed to be done on Sunday, to be turned in on Tuesday, this week. He got good grades on it, today.


Arrion got home by 8 p.m. this evening, from Prague, Czech Republic... has been up for 24 hours, but seems great. In very good spirits after a great trip!

It was a very good day! ;-)

Sweet Berry Farm

Spent a couple of fun hours today out at Sweet Berry Farm, north west of Marble Falls, with the grandkids and Larry and Annette. Have lots of photos... this is a good one to start with!



Alex would not move... he wanted to block me, not be a "side accessory" to the photo! Such is life! A great trip.

It was another great day! ;-)

Took this photo the first day we arrived, but seemed important today, to get it posted. Nice seasonal decorations!


It was another very good day! ;-)

Kaylee "fake" birthday activities

On Saturday, Annette had a "birthday" party Kaylee while she and Larry are here (real 2nd birthday is November 8). Alex insisted on calling it a "fake" birthday.

Whatever, we all enjoyed the cupcakes:


Kaylee liked the doll and stroller, that she will be playing with upstairs.


It was a very good day! ;-)

Kaylee likes yogurt...

Busy days in Austin with Alex and Kaylee. Few moments to do much but be involved with them... that if fine, of course, what we are here for. They never seem to stop moving. Here is best of my Kaylee shots, so far. She was finishing off her meal with some yogurt... Feeding herself, of course!

It was a great day! ;-)

We have more to learn...

I put his link on Facebook, but I also want to put it here:
http://blog.beliefnet.com/intentchopra/2009/10/what-we-dont-know-is-thrilling.html

This is for those who may still think "they know everything."
One of my favorites is, of course, "the more you know, the more you find out you don't know" - or something to that affect. (or effect?)

I thought this summed up very well mankind's (at least the smart ones) thinking about ourselves, at the moment.

What do you think?

Tomorrow, we leave for Austin (get there early Thursday afternoon) for a week and a half or so with the grandkids; Annette and Larry are there, now; Arrion will be back mid-next week.

It is a very good day! ;-)
