Kids have it all these days

Savannah loves "Justice" - the store for tweenies. On her birthday we shopped there, and look what she found! Press-on nails with googly eyes! Sweet.

Jack O Lantern Jailhouse

Our good friend, and comedian, Bill Martini came up with a fabulous pumpkin at this years annual pumpkin carving picnic. A jail with two convicts inside, in reference to recent town scandals involving our police chief and town manager. So clever! Love the expressions on their faces!

Bosom Buddies

Evan and his buddy from school on a play date. The snakes only cost me $50 in quarters at the mini golf arcade.

Anna Maria Here We Come!

Our last "hoorah" before summer ends. We went to Anna Maria Island to enjoy the classic Florida beach getaway. Savannah wanted to parasail, thank goodness it was too windy and they weren't having any sessions that day! Gulp!

Evan Tops-It

Our son, Evan, graduated from Montessori school in June. I love it when he wears a suit. We still need to install a mini Topit in his coat. I know once he gets started with the Topit, he'll be just like his Dad was when he first discovered the power of the Topit - and make everything vanish. Actually...that concerns me a little bit.

Family Props

This photo was taken by magician Chris Manos. My mom and I enjoyed talking with him and other friends at the final cocktail party in Dallas. My mom was such a tremendous help with the Spirit Cabinet. She not only helped us rehearse - and taught us everything she knows - but she helped by bringing up props for us (we used a few of her bells, table and chair). Having her at my side what such an important part of what made the show go well.

What magic is all about

This was so cute. An aspiring magician walked with Michael over to the Majestic Theater in Dallas. My mom and I walked behind. We were charmed by the magic wand sticking of the boys pocket. She kept saying, "This is what magic is all about."
