Summer & Eliza & Tessa

Piano recital May 7th 2012

 then the following Friday Summer & Tessa were in their school talent show and

 Summer chose to sing the song Somewhere Over the Rainbow (A Capella)

 Tessa chose to play a song from her recital, Canon

out of the mouth of Tessa..."Summer's was the best b/c when she sang the whole audience was silent"

All I can say is they have guts to want to get up on stage! They were fabulous :)

So I've been wanting to organize my pantry for about 6 months...

but it only got done when I hired meself a professional pantry organizer, my friend Molly, and she only charged me a loaf of bread. It was an insane deal.  (for me, not her :)

This is now my thinking place where I can close the door and hide feel peace.

A sweet passing...

We said farewell to a sweet Grandpa who was also the sweetest Great Grandpa...here he is with Summer in 2009

 There were a lot of tears when everyone shared memories of him but at the same time it was such a happy reunion

 Samantha & I had our twins just a few months apart so when they were babies we lined them up on the floor for pictures but I don't know how scan it to my computer so we made them reinact it

 All of the Bowen cousins from oldest to youngest

after the funeral and lunch we gathered at Grandpa's house for one last visit together and he ended the day with a rainbow in his backyard
