GCU

In trying to pick the online school for Bear to finish his MBA he decided to visit Grand Canyon University.  GCU is in Phoenix, Arizona.  


They each returned to Houston with a bag full of GCU goodies.  They enjoyed the time together.  Time will tell if the school is the right choice.

Princess Loves Food

The way to this girl's heart is through food.

She found these valentines pillows to be just too perfect.  LOL

New Company/New Samples

Sales men always like it when the new samples arrive.  That is one of the exciting aspects of being in sales.  The thrill of getting to see the new stuff.


 J is so lucky to have such handsome young men helping to organize the new samples so that he can grab for trade shows without much effort.

Mom's New Phone








The new iPhone is water proof.  My delightful children spend two days finding new ways to take underwater pictures. The poor fish!

More Painting

Twin Beautiful loves the bathroom color.

I think she approves.

We can only hope that it helps bring a future buyer very soon.

MNO


Various January School Days

I love how hard these two work at their school work.  They help each tore but not too much.  It is so good to watch them.  They are smart as well!

 I love having the kids around all day busy out their work.

Improving House to Encourage a Sale


We have so many walls to paint.  










 Late night painting and "thank you for your hard work" treats.
Then even more painting . . .

We even got epoxy and covered the top of the washer and dryer.  These were all rusted out and looked horrible.  I was shocked that a $3 can of white epoxy paint could make these old machines look new.

Our Lady Is Honored

The old look has been replaced.  The fountain has been made a beautiful big fountain with a picture of the blessed Mother in the front.  


My local friends are going to LOVE how STAOP updated the fountain in front of church. 
Approaching church for daily Mass Bear and I noticed that a change had been made. I brought the younger ones to see it the next morning.  



They have made some beautiful changes. The statue that sat in the center of the fountain before was in honor of the unborn.  This former statue has been placed in another spot that is a little more secluded. My love of this new placement is not meant to disrespect what was here before. I just think that Mary should be prominent. 

Our Lady is now front and center as you approach the church building. The visual is more than just the moving of a statue. When you visit the campus entering from the main entrance you are first greeted by St. Anthony, then our Lady and in the direct line behind the two is the Tabernacle. The placement draws us into Christ. I love it!
