My Daughter Madison at her Bridal Shower

On May 3rd we celebrated Madison's upcoming wedding with a bridal shower. Hosted by my step-mom, Diane Seitz Hall, and my step-sister, Lori Briody. Because Madison used to have a serious affinity for all things British, including tea, the theme was a lovely tea party. There were beautiful tea cups on display and an elaborate display of tasty sweets. The day was so beautiful that we could enjoy sitting on the patio at my dad's and step-mom's home. Below is Madison and our dear friend, Sarah Lee, holding up a gift from me. Her wedding reception is set on the groom's mother's farm with a rustic country theme; I thought she could use the banner for the wedding and for her home. Allison Murray, Madison Murray, and Micah Lee. These girls have known each other since they were only three! It is a bit hard to read, but this robe, given to her by her sister, Allison, says "Bride" and is for her to wear as she gets ready on h

We have a new PATIO! Before After In the first picture you can see my backyard as I used to see it: large and in need of help. Keep in mind that the dirt directly in front of the stoop is due to my husband planning out the patio, but on a normal day that area was with little grass, muddy, and an eye sore. In the next picture you can see part of the patio in its completion. AFTER my husband, Allen, our son, J.E.B., and our soon-to-be son-in-law, Caleb, worked their butts off clearing out the dirt and tamping the soil, smoothing out the sand to prepare for the pavers, and pounding the pavers in place until completion. Elliette wanted to help too. Daisy wanted in on the fun too, which wasn't fun for Allen. I will update my post later, once I have added some decorative touches, and washed off the mud that Daisy has rubbed onto our back door. In the mean time, SPRING is here, and I'm happy to have a nice, solid place to enjoy our back yar

Spring Break Fun in St. Louis As we entered the city, Elliette and I became excited to finally arrive. <--- I liked the way this building greeted us from the highway. Elliette was ready to get out of the car. --------------> From outside we see the incredible climbing area. We can't wait to get inside! Once inside, the climbing and serious fun begins! Woot! Woot! The climbing and exploring went on, and on, and on. I wimped out on the 5th floor, but Allen and Elliette climbed all the way to the 10th floor and took the dizzying slide down. Happy Faces!! After some major climbing, we explored some of the other rooms. Here is Elliette studying the species collected for the Avalon room. For $3 Coyote drew her picture in the Beatnik room. (I admit that I looked over his book titles with interest until I saw that they were all lame.) I loved looking at
