It was a weekend of lovely moments. Mark’s 7th birthday came and we celebrated with a trip to the dinosaur museum, a treasure hunt, and strawberry shortcake. We love our red boy whose enthusiastic oohs and aaahs at the dinosaur museum reminded us how great it is to discover something new.<\/p>\n

Lovely Paige went to the school prom. She had a lot of compliments on the hairstyle that her aunt Susan created.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_9708\"<\/a>Thanks for all of the help, Susan!<\/p>\n

Prom, a birthday, a trip to the cabin, and hosting a ward party at our house have taken all of our energy. I have a few regrets about the weekend, and one is that we didn’t get pictures of the beautiful homemade decorations and homemade ice cream bar that we made under a charming tent in our yard.<\/p>\n

I sewed 30 feet of bunting in reds and blues to drape around the tent. There were blossoms from the yard in red and cream bud vases; there were red and blue dishes of chocolate, mixed berries, cookies, and nuts, arranged on a red and white gingham tablecloth. There was a candy machine with a jar of coins for the children to use. There were happy neighbors who stopped by to enjoy the festivities.<\/p>\n

I’m not trying to write a design and lifestyle blog, so these lovely details will need to live in your imagination and my memory.<\/p>\n

As Richard and I waited up for Paige to return from her date, he composed and performed his own lyrics to the song Bring Him<\/del> Her Home<\/em> to keep me smiling.<\/p>\n

It’s a lovely life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
