Extended Beverly Family Goals...

The 7 of us Beverly's in Bastrop County (Cliff, Dodie, Amanda, Liz, Harlan, Christopher, and Samantha), are going to be trying to SET and ACHIEVE some goals...

Here are some of our ideas:

  1. Park Cleanup - pick up trash and clean up a park in Bastrop County, Texas
  2. Board Game Design - finish our board game design and "make it" out of wood/etc.
  3. Custom Mailbox - design & build custom mailboxes for both our families
  4. Overnight Boat Trip - rent and sleep overnight on a boat together
  5. Write and Make a Movie - about ... tbd.
  6. Write and sing a song together
We're going to do #1 this Sunday!   And we're thinking hard about #2.

Make your own goals!!!!

Bedtime thoughts...

CMav before bed tonight, "Why does cereal float towards other cereal in your bowl?" Me (after contemplation) "The cereal absorbs milk and so the milk is always going towards the cereal. Does that make sense?" CMav: "Well, that only explains half of it. I guess I'll ask Google in the morning."

Where it all began...

I just found this photo on my parent's computer and had to share - look at those youngsters! :)

I saw this photo in a flash of a screensaver - and for a moment couldn't believe what I was seeing. :)

Enjoy!

We could hear falcons calling over this ridge - it is a cliff straight down on the other side of the fence!

Sammie's Open House

Sammie had her singing debut at the Open House for her preschool last week. They were adorable! They sang "She'll Be Comin' 'Round the Mountain" and "The Lord's Army".
