School Starts..... and Catching Grandma J at the Airport

Numbers, Numbers. They're Everywhere



Claire and Tracy went out on a discovery mission to see where we use numbers and what they mean in different settings.  In the process, Claire was able to help develop her camera skills as well as discuss how we use numbers in everyday life.  It was a fun, meaningful, easy lesson for the family.  Enjoy Claire's gallery!


After several weeks of above 100F temperatures, we were greeted by a spectacular handful of days with cool mornings and mild afternoons. To take advantage of the weather, we took some time out as a family to visit the Dallas butterfly and discovery gardens at Fair Park. We are continually surprised at the quality of services available at Fair Park with great under-utilization by the public. This hidden jewel was a nice respite from the city.
