After breakfast, my girls wandered outside, before heading off to kindergarten.
While doing dishes, I heard them screaming. Dishes went splat! I ran outside to discover both were fine! Except we had a visitor in our pool, a precious little ground squirrel, named Penelope Potter. Yes, my girls had to name this squirrel.
I quickly grabbed the pool net and rescued the little one. Girls ran, got some towels and I carefully wrapped it up. I really thought there was not much hope but to our surprise, thank God, "Penelope" came around and scampered off. Girls were ecstatic as was I.
We returned inside the house, to a wet kitchen, and broken dishes. Grabbed my car keys, got the girls in the suv and off to kindergarten, in the knick of time. I am sure "Penelope" will be a star during show and tell today.
When you live in the desert its not unheard of for animals to end up in your pool. Most never survive the ordeal but today we managed to rescue one of God's creatures, "Penelope".
Love and Happiness,

The Weekend.
A weekend at the McKinney household is always full of adventure especially when you have children.
Sleeping in is a rarity. The minute the sun started to rise on the horizon, the girls were up and about ready to start their day. Saturday and Sunday, my girls, invaded my craft room. Coloring was on their agenda.
Even though it was a beautiful spring weekend, in the 80's, citrus blooms in the air, with a few clouds here and there, perfect kite flying weather I must say, my girls stayed inside and colored up a storm. Their beautiful colorings adorn our refrigerator now and my craft room, even though looks like a marker and crayon bomb went off, was filled with love.
Even at dinner, on Saturday night, at Buca di Beppo, coloring books along with my designs were in tow. Ryan and I watched them with love in our hearts, thanking God for moments like these. How blessed we are. Life is grand.
It's moments like these that make wonderful memories.
I will add, there was one time this weekend coloring was second on their mind. The reason, a trip to the Sugar Bowl for ice cream with their dad.
Love and Happiness,
Morgan
May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you.

Taking a leap.
Today, finally, my store opens. I am really excited. Thanks to the encouragement of my wonderful hubby, I decided to take the leap with my art and venture into the digital world. I am a watercolorist at heart.
New ventures are really scary.
I'm new to blogland. I have been setting this up for days, with the hopes of doing this correctly. Made sure all my i's are dotted and t's crossed. Then when that looked great, there is the first initial post. What on earth do I say? This journey for sure is going to be a work in progress.
I'm also new to the whole digital stamp world, in regards to selling my digital images. I am sure there will be mistakes along the way, but any venture worthwhile is worth the risk, right?
Right! At least that is what my Ryan keeps telling me.
I am going to try to blog on a daily basis, should life permit. With two twin girls, age five, life can be pretty chaotic.
