Shlepn Seven: May 2012
http://shlepnseven.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 22, 2012. Over the past few weeks my peonies have been a profusion of pink in my garden. Matt G with Mikey after their Eagle Court of Honor. This little cutie pie arrived on the 10th with his mom and dad to stay for the summer. Jeff just finished his second year at Baylor Law and will be starting work soon in DC. It's been so much fun having a baby in the house. Especially when he laughs and expresses tons of personality. I love being a grandma. She can't put the boy down. Monday, May 7, 2012.

Shlepn Seven: July 2012
http://shlepnseven.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 12, 2012. Yesterday Leslie was able to spend some time with us while she is in the area for an accounting seminar. I took some pics on my phone:. The first thing we did was go to Georgetown for some window shopping. And getting some cupcakes:). After Georgetown we took the LONG way (being in the wrong lane at the wrong time in DC will do that) to visit Grandma and Grandpa D. I think they like her. According to Grandma, "Tom hit the bull's eye". He cleans up nice, huh? Thursday, July 5, 2012.

Monday, January 30, 2012. Back in the Day. Teacher Work Days Rock. The kids didn't have school today, so Mikey and Dad decided to go to the. At the DC Convention Center.

Wednesday, January 9, 2013. Christmas 2012 and New Years 2013. Yet another reason why living in Vienna is so awesome:. This year we made a ton of fudge, strung lights, stapled together paper chains, decked the halls with boughs of holly, sent out our annual card, booked lots of flights, threw back to back parties, watched lots of bowl games and ate WAY too much. But the best part was getting reacquainted with our adorable grandson. Here he is with his Great G-Ma D:. Mikey is home for three weeks!

Tuesday, June 26, 2012. On Sunday we had company. Among our guests were three truly awesome people. First off, our cousin, Chandler, is in town paging on Capitol Hill and has stayed with us the past couple of weekends. We knew him back in the day when he was just a little tyke and he would come and visit us with his parents. My, oh my, how he's grown up. He is a rising senior in HS but upon meeting him, you would think he's a return missionary. Go. To see his incredible eagle project. He is one of the mo...

But the best part was visiting with good friends:) I took Sharma Sleight's amazing Cranberry Salsa. 2 T fresh cilantro, chopped.

Saturday, June 1, 2013. On Feb 20 our 5th missionary received his call to the Brazil Porto Alegre North Mission! Mikey reports on July 9th to the Sao Paulo MTC if his visa comes through in time. We couldn't be more thrilled for him! Of his Vienna buddies Mikey will be the last to leave following (from L-R) Garret Bourne who is going to Belgium, Nick Moffitt who is going to Texas and Matt Goodson who is going to London. On March 9th MK and her friends graced the tidal basin to enjoy the gorgeous blooms:.
