Isabella enjoyed 'model posing',
but not after about the 4th shot....
when she bids "peace out" and was off looking for crabs with her friends.
Last Field Trip
to Shell Beach. We walked from the school to the beach (the beach where I normally stop for meditation after I drop off Isabella). The 3rd graders had fun looking for crabs at the tide pools. I was amused looking for unusual rocks...especially rocks with holes that can serve as pen holders. Even the rocks are all different just like we all are. Amazing Creator...My Rock and Redeemer.

Barefoot Sunday
Isabella and I walked out of the church happily barefoot for 'Soles for Souls'....it tickles... the soul.
Home Projects Continued
writing this while the kids are at the park. Here are some photos to share as I enjoy the fruits of my decorating labor (I moved from the kitchen to the living/dining room while I contemplate granite choices) I was shopping with my GFF Tessie one day and we saw this dining table that I truly love. Tessie is my new shopping buddy. Though we are so different in our shopping "attitudes" (frugal me and the 'not-so-frugal-at-all' Tess) we truly enjoy shopping together. Well, here are some of the photos of the fruits of our shopping escapades.
here is a shot as you come in through the front door. The big iron candle holder was given to me by Tessie. The bookcase is from Costco (thanks to Phil and Ian who helped put it together); the curtain rod is from Pottery Barn and the panel is from a local decorating shop.

Our new sofa and loveseat from Model Home Furnishings. I'm planning on changing the wall sconces to iron ones to reflect a more old world style I'm going for. I'm also planning on doing a different finish on the sofa table behind the sofa (thinking of applying mosaic design on top)
Our new Dining Room old world style
will be changing the chandelier to iron old world/tuscan look.
Here are my 'before' photos of our old formal black and white dining room
and its matching formal black and white living room
Isabella's Giraffe Habitat Project
She had an 11-page handwritten report to go with it complete with bibliography and table of contents and a beautiful powerpoint presentation all done in school. Ian and I went to her open house last week. Her teacher used her powerpoint presentation as an example to show.
Soul Bossa Nova
A cute dance number featuring "Austin Powers". Performed at Dinosaur Caves Park on May 17, 2008.
Shop Around
A new dance number just recently finished. Shown for the first time at the Strawberry Festival in Arroyo Grande. Please excuse the quality...I was not close to the front.
