About a month ago, savannah had been sneakily browsing Petfinder when she found this little hunk named Albert and was head over heels. Although our lease said no pets, she instantly fell in love with that little face and wanted to bring him home. After almost a month went by, she just couldn’t stand it…
rebekah + emily visit
We were blessed to have our second family visitors arrive from Texas last Wednesday night. Thursday was filled with some exploring, girls lunch at Portos (a must), vintage and antique browsing on Magnolia Blvd and dinner at The Melt (really, who doesn’t love a grilled cheese?). On Friday, the girls walked along the Chandler bike…
‘matoes
If you follow savannah’s Instagram, you’re well aware that we’ve been growing tomatoes. One container hosts a “Health Kick Tomato” plant and the other, a “Sweet 100s” (savannah’s favorite). We planted the former mid-March (see photo) and the later a couple of weeks later. Our first ‘mato came June third! …and then there were more……
humming birds

richard nixon presidential library and museum
Of the thirteen Presidential Libraries, Candy, Hadley and Savannah had been to nine. Being so close to the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum, it was impossible to pass up a visit. On Monday, the girls set out for Yorba Linda. The approach to the Nixon Library and Museum was definitely not as impressive as…
