Ah, no stress!

One week of summer down and it feels good to not be stressed out with all things related to school!  It's been nice to just hang out, swim and have lazy mornings as you can see here.

Unfortunately, someone in our family is stressed out right now, and that someone is T.J. the Malti-Mutt. He's not so sure why we are home.  In fact, the first few days we were home, he camped out in his bed, watching us from the peep holes in the side of his bed.  But, he's slowly getting accustomed to us being here more and is emerging from his hidey-hole.  (You can see the uncertainty in his eyes in the above picture.)

We had an eventful weekend.  My folks drove in for my nephew's graduation in San Antonio on Saturday.  I cannot believe my nephew is old enough to be a highschool graduate. (That means I'm getting old as well...sigh.)

Here is Brandon around 3-4 years old. 

And here he is on Saturday.  All 6'6" inches of him.

He's a cutie isn't he?

This weekend, we also picked up some "new" furniture for Kyla's bedroom.  She's only had mis-matched leftover furniture in her room and it was her turn to get a new set.  I've been looking on Craigslist for at least a year, trying to find the best deal on little girl furniture.  It's either been too expensive, not the right pieces, or not in good shape.  But, when I saw this set, I knew I had to get it!  The price was AMAZING, it came with a chest of drawers, armoire, sleigh bed w/trundle and night stand.  It's solid wood and in near perfect condition!  Total score!  (It's all about patience, my friends... patience.)

Excuse the weird lighting in these pictures.  But, you get the gist.
She loves it and so do we.
