Meredith Kendall Calvert's Wedding

12th Annual TCU Lake WeekendCather

12 years! We have been gathering together at Lake LBJ every year to re-connect and laugh and marvel at our kids and how old we are all getting. It is a joy to have a lifelong friendship with these girls and I'm thankful for our time together every year. The older I get the more valuable friends that truly know you become. Here's to 12 more years!

Matt's New Office

Risinger Homes has moved to a new office space on Burnet Road. Matt is so excited about getting to design his own space. And a bonus is that it is closer to home so his commute has been cut in half. WOO HOO! I am just so proud of him.

There is lots of work being done to get the space ready. Matt had the vision to have a conference space as well that will hold up to 75 people which I think is really great. He is passionate about Building Science so I can see that becoming more of a niche for him as his company grows. Matthew (2 1/2 years) and I made a visit the other day to see the progress. . .

First stop was to check out the forklift they had rented for the day. Matthew was in heaven

As you walk in there will be beautiful sliding glass doors on your right that separate the conference room

They built a temporary office space or "hot box" that has worked out pretty well - very ingenious. They had planned to rent a trailer but at the last minute the company said nothing was available so they improvised and have saved a ton of money.

More Summer 2014 Fun

The summer always seems to fly by and this year is no exception. This has really been a fun summer because I don't have a tiny infant and we have really gotten to get out and do some fun things. The big kids have been at some fun camps as well. Here are some highlights. . .

Pine Cove Base Camp! By far my kids' favorite activity this summer. It is an all day camp designed to feel like overnight camp so it gives them a glimpse of what camp is like. We are going to have a hard time trying to decide between LLYC and Pine Cove Overnight camp!

Alivia's cabin

Ahhh. . . Anderson HS Belle Camp. Alivia joined her cousins for this 4-day camp. I think she has liked it. It's so funny that I was a Trojan Belle - it seems so long ago. Maybe I should ask for an Alumni discount.

Celebrating Mimi's 68th and Paige's 5th Birthdays. They are one day apart. Always a fun summer gathering
