For My Grandma

For My Grandmother and Godmother, who passed away June 15, 2010.

In The Sweet Light

Of the Valley,

When the sun falls

Upon The Pine,

I shall lay down

All my Troubles

And I lift up,

This Heart of Mine

Take Me Home, Lord

Oh Take Me Home.

O'er the hillside

And o'er the sea

To the soft grass of the valley

Where Your Grace

Shall set me free

Through the Shadow

of the darkness,

Through the storms that

Lead me astray

I shall travel

Forever Knowing

In Your Light

I will always stay.

Take me Home, Lord,

Oh Take Me Home.

O'er the hillside

And o'er the sea

To the soft grass of the valley

Where Your Grace

Shall set me Free

-Nathan Barr

Let's Go Surfing, Again

In June, Brian was working in Houston, so we drove down to see him. Saturday, we went to Galveston for the afternoon. We had lots of fun surfing and playing in the water.

Sunday, we went to Space Center Houston. Then we had to take him to the airport and send him home to Colorado. :(

Let's Go Surfing

During Greg's school break in May, we drove down to Galveston. Greg has really been missing surfing, so we rented a couple boards. It was the boys first time, and they all managed to stand up. They loved it. It was extremely windy, so sorry about the noise on the video.

A Year in the Life of Frog and Toad

Tonight the PTA meeting included a performance by the 1st and 3rd graders, so Matthew and Justin got to sing together. They even stood next to each other, with Matthew right behind Justin. They sang songs about two best friends, Frog and Toad, and a year in their lives. I wish we had had better seats, but we were off to the side, still here are a few of the songs.

Meet Huckleberry

This is our new Beagle Huckleberry. We adopted him from a rescue a little over a week ago. He is super sweet and adores the boys.
