A Texas Style Breakfast for A Little Buckaroo!

Cool Hand Luke is Coming to Texas!

The Divine Miss M has been keeping little Luke quite busy this summer month of June. With Nursery school out for the summer, this little guy has had a full social calender. They will be headed to the new Texas house to celebrate his 4th birthday with balloons, barbecue, ice cream, cousins and swimming at Grandma's and Papa's! In Atlanta they have busied themselves by working on their new deck (pictures soon to follow), building a river in the yard and sailing bottlecap boats, swimming lessons, playmate visits and horseback riding!
