horseback riding


Here is Clara doing her most favorite thing right now! She started taking lessons back in August and is loving it! Here she is riding Penny.

Oh Happy Day!


It was a BIG day here at the Chen house when Millie's hair finally made it into 2 braids....just like Laura Ingalls!

Mrs. Sharp's class

Clara's class took a field trip to the Dallas Museum of Art a couple weeks ago. Every time I drive for a field trip I'm reminded of how thankful we are to have Clara at The Covenant School. Not only how great the education is, but how kind and well mannered the kids are.

It's Fall!















Yeah! We are out of the 90's! We love October here in Texas for many reasons, but mostly because it's Kid's day at Calloways! Here is a look at each year since 2007!

First Day of 1st Grade!



The school year is here and Clara LOVES 1st grade. Her teacher is Mrs. Sharp and she is very very happy that her friend Sarah is in class with her! We started the school year with family Chapel and then dropped her off. Next year we will be dropping off Millie too...sniff sniff.

My favorite video of the girls!

There are so many things about this video that make me laugh. Clara's outfit, her hair (or lack thereof),that she is feeding Millie "mush", that Millie is eating tofu(sure doesn't anymore), and that she is working with Millie on her sign language!

Sleeping and surrounded by animals (stuffed variety...)



Notice the eye cover on top of Clara's forehead and the little giraffe resting on top of the green pillow.

And the ever present "Dirty Kitty"

Clara's Birthday 2010







Michigan Summer 2010

Horseback Riding Camp























Clara loved horseback riding camp. So much so for someone who melts at 80 degree weather, Clara endured 5 hours of Dallas summer heat without complaining.



































Clara inspired Millie as well - we took care of our friend's dog, and Millie also wanted to get in on the horseback riding camp action...only with a smaller animal and on "pretend" basis.

Weekend at the Lake





























This weekend we went with our friends to their lakehouse. It was so much fun, especially for the girls!
