Have any of you ever felt this sort of feeling? :)

From the looks of her crisp dress and heels, it looks like this housewife is preparing for a dinner party -- when suddenly a breaker blew! Now she is staring at the confusing labyrinth of wires in the fuse box...

I'm sure guys have felt this sort of feeling, if only about other types of things -- which reminds me of a joke I just read:

Sick wife, calling downstairs to helping husband: "Flour? Oh, it's quite easy to find! Look on the very first pantry shelf -- it's in a cocoa tin marked 'Matches'!"

Micah's 16th Birthday!!!

 Happy Birthday, dear Micah!

 Watching the goats and reading a "Happy Hollisters"...

 What is it?

 It's Micah's teeny Quadcopter!

 It's really neat to watch him maneuver it!!!

 A quiet moment outdoors :)

 What did we get in the mail?

 Lighting candles...

A very, very happy birthday to you, dear Micah -- may you have many more wonderful birthdays!

San Antonio -- Yes, Again!

 As we drove down to San Antonio for yet another wonderful visit, we saw this ugly "stack"... ;)

 Travelers...

 Acres and acres of sunflowers!

 It's time for a game of pool!

 Travis and Charlotte

 We had fun playing "Clue!"

 The happy cook

 We looked at the wedding program -- here I'm making some minor tweaks

 We played volleyball, but don't have any pictures of it since we were all playing! ;)

Austin tries on Dad's glasses ;)

San Antonio - Yes, Again - Part 2

 Sunday morning, eating breakfast on the E's wide porch...

 Stephen and Charlotte :) :)

 At church...

 Deborah smiles, unconcious of Mr. McC and his strange tale... ;)

 The "main" purpose of our trip to San Antonio this time was to attend a wedding shower for Nathaniel and Katelyn. Here the couple and their parents sit at the "head table"...

 There was a lot of sharing -- advice, reminisces, "we'll miss you," etc.

 Opening presents afterwards...

 A happy little family

Goodbyes before heading back to Dallas...
