The house is freshly painted, and everything was just beautiful! Karen, Ciara and Fiona got to relax in the glorious, not-too-hot weather. We all got a reminder of how lovely the country is (especially as a haven from the SF fog.)

Fiona and Picasso
06 Mar 2012Fiona’s New Horse
26 Dec 2011Eeeeeee! So Excited! How unbelievably adorable! I always wanted to get a horse for Christmas.
I will post more details when I get them.
(for anyone that might not know, Fiona is my 10 yr old niece, and lives in Rowlett, TX.)
UPDATE:
They named him Picasso. Fiona rides him 3+ days a week.
Donnelly Cousins Back To Texas
08 Aug 2011Ciara and the Fair
02 Aug 2011We had ourselves a very big day…
Most importantly we got to see Ciara – she just came to California this week. It’s so nice to see the cousins together!
And then Mark and I made a quick dash off to the Sonoma County Fair. We brought Oscar and left Lucy to swim with the girls. Oscar was so torn! He loves the fair, but was sad to miss swimming.
On the bright side, the fair was exciting…
And the cows were Gigantic. I wanted Oscar to see where all the milk comes from. These cows are milked twice a day and they produce an awful lot of milk.
Mark and Oscar tried their luck at the games…
Also, Mark posted on Facebook (technically he “checked in”) that we were at the fair, and lo an behold Karen Mac & Nelson were there too! Fun!
Sleepover At Omi’s With Fiona
13 Jul 2011
Awesome kid photos by Omi – Click any to see larger>
The Grandkids were “In it to win it” as American Idol would say.
They played, they crafted, they lunched, they napped. They listened to Fiona’s music. They cooked mini sized German hotdogs. They had so much fun just being together.
Omi had my kids for the day, and then that turned in to a spontaneous sleepover. (I know, lucky me!) Also, as luck would have it, there was just enough diapers in the bag to make it.
Aunt Karen was so thoughtful – she sent along some fun boxes of crafts for the kids:
I love how Lucy is rocking the scarf in these shots taken in the backyard.
Fun times in the frisco fog! XOXO Thanks Omi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
