All we need to be happy

Well, we took a few pictures of this lovely place we're living! All we really need to be happy is a home and a good sunset, right? Well, I would have also put a picture of our nice new bed and car license plates, but those don't look as good in pictures.

This is our home, sweet, future home. We will live upstairs in this 150 year old carriage house--the gift shop is below.

Gorgeous sunsets

Just Keep Sliding

Hi, it's Shaina here again! Friday, August 1, after that lovely lunch with Grandma Brown, Mel and I went to the Washington, MO Aquatic center for a little swim. We ended up spending the most time sliding down the cool water slide over and over and over. It took a lot of tries to actually catch each other in a picture. Finally we got some good ones!

Weeeehaww!!

Hi!

George--or should we say Martha--Washington hair

Mel definitely has a better sassy look than me... but I think Kiera Knightly could give us both lessons!

Sister Act Part II

Melody's visit gave us sisters the opportunity for many fun activities! Here are some more photos of the fun:

It's Shaina here again to report on the latest adventure: Mel, Em, and I decided to sew skirts together while Mel was visiting. It was quite the LONG day with plenty of exasperation and all of those familiar joys us sisters from the Brown family enjoy while we attempt to sew. The final result was quite nice, even if the journey was somewhat rocky!





Caution: Sisters sewing. Beware of moans of despair, pattern-wrinkling, pin pricks, and excessive stitch-picking!
















Lunch with Grandma:

Our Grandma Brown wisely took advantage of having 3 of her granddaughters in town all at once, and invited us all to lunch on Friday, August 1. An Applebee's treat! Thanks, Grandma!







Steve did get to come to the girls lunch, lucky little fellow! (that's his little head at the bottom)
