Diana: Tuesday is my Dad's 60th Birthday! So we're having a couple of days of celebration. :) Tonight was dinner and cake at their house. Tomorrow everyone is headed to Denton for another dinner. You'll notice my Dad giving my Mom bunny ears in our photo. I decided to go with that one to honor my Dad's birthday, because that is definitely the one he would have chosen. I love you Dad!

Diana: Today was a good Sunday. Up by 7:30 reading and writing, saw Earth, had dinner with my brother and started crafted my first custom cookie cutters!

Josh: Those cookie cutters - which were in the shape of Middle Eastern countries - were interesting enough by themselves. But Diana also learned some innovative things about frosting cookies that will change Christmas cookies at my mom's house significantly.

Diana: Today I planted bougainvillea before Josh's Dr.'s appt. Then we went and visited fire pits and places for the back yard. The debate is on over the pit or the place.

Josh: I think I'm liking the pit. Also - the bi-annual mole patrol came out clean.
