A fun family visit

It's been a busy, fun week, as Brian's sister Kelley, her husband Leo and their sweet little boy Cameron have been visiting from Dallas. They came to our house on Monday afternoon along with Brian's parents for a Labor Day BBQ. The kids had fun with their cousin, who is Lucas's age.

Kelley, Leo and Cameron stayed with us Monday night, and Kelley and I had a great shopping outing on Tuesday. We spent some good time at Archiver's and Michael's, getting supplies for several fun projects. Kelley and I always have a great time together; love having her as a SIL.

I really needed some new fridge magnets, and at Archiver's I found a pack of eight half-inch square magnets that had an adhesive front. So I just cut half-inch squares from different paper and stuck them on. A small, simple project, but they really make me happy! What can I say, I'm a girl of simple joys.

Kelley spotted this paper at Archiver's, which goes SO well with the tree canvases that I just painted. It actually looks better in person. I *think* I know what I am going to do with it.

On Wendesday, Isabel, Lucas and I (Brian had to work and Connor had school) went to Georgetown with Kelley, Leo and Cameron, and Brian's parents. We had a great day! At 8,500-feet altitude there was a touch of Fall in the air (yay!) and some of the Aspens have already started to turn. We had a picnic in the park with that fabulous playground (which was at one point being cleaned by the firefighters), shopped the cute, old-fashioned main street, ate chocolates in a little candy shop, walked around the town and saw all the historic houses. I have serious love for Georgetown.
