During the Blog Vacation

Just some of what we did during my blog vacation in no particular order...

Despite the crazy drought and heat, we have had a pretty good garden this summer.  It was our first time to grow okra.  This is a picture of the okra bloom. It's a beautiful flower that lasts for a vary short time.

The kids had fun creating their very own bows and arrows.  And then shooting them off was even more fun!

Our trip to Chicago...Jaime and I became god parents again.  This is my teeny tiny niece, Hailey.

Auntie time.  Can't wait to meet the newest cousin...arriving in January!
