Your life is not lying in wait in the future like a wild animal or some ominous destiny. Nor is it hidden in the heavens, like a paradise or promise. Nor is it shut up in the cave or the prison of your past. It is here and now; it is what you live and what you do. At the heart of being; at the heart of the present; at the heart of everything – in the great current of life, of reality.
Andre Comte-Sponville

~Wisconsin Dells~

In June we went to Wisconsin Dells w/ my sister and her boys. We all had a great time!


~Art & Science in the Woods~

Brenna took a week long art & science camp w/ her friend Chloe. It is truly an amazing camp. The kids pick a major that they want to study for the week but they, also, get to pick four minors that they work on each day, too. The classes are incredible! Brenna had such a great time! On Friday night the kids were able to bring their families back to the camp to see everything they had done for the week so we really enjoyed that. Brenna can't wait to take the camp next year and Aubree will be old enough to take it, too!

~Freeze Time~

We've had a great summer - I'm just sad that it's already coming to an end! It just amazes me how fast the days go - I wish I could freeze time! I wish these years w/ my girls could last forever! I try to cherish every minute I get to spend w/ them because I know that it won't last forever. All too soon they will be grown up and moving onto their own lives.

I love this Robert Brault quote:

"Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things."

~So True~

I saw this on Facebook:

'There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore, and who always will, so don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.'

~First Visitors~

My sister and her boys came for a visit to our cabin last weekend - we all had a great time!

~Poppy Flower Brenna~


Brenna had her first play in May - "The Magical Land of Oz". Brenna LOVES singing and acting so this musical theater class was so much fun for her. She was a poppy flower and she loved every minute of it. She did a great job!
She is taking a musical theater summer camp and we can't wait to see her next performance!
