Random in Arkansas


Meredith has been with her grandparents in Arkansas for the 2nd half of this week, and there's no telling what fun has occurred. But we were all there for a few days, and got to witness some of the fun first hand. She and I went for a walk on Sunday, and picked the world's tiniest bouquet. Peaceful fun.

In other fun, Chris' mom Karen (and Mer's marme) went with us and he taught her to fly fish. Look at that beautiful trout. It was so fun to have her there with us and we're pretty sure she came to appreciate exactly how relaxing Calico Rock can be.


Not to be outdone by his mom's photo op, Chris created one of his own. When Meredith sadly proclaimed that despite donning her new princess dress, she did not have a prince, Chris stepped into the role. Well, he stepped into the role after stepping into one of the vast closets in my mom and dad's house that contain all manner of random items. Isn't he, um, a handsome prince? Meredith, confronted with the genetic source of her penchant for drama and costume, really didn't know what to think.

Yes, that is kate's high school graduation robe - but notice the sash - let's not forget she was a high school beauty queen - DeSoto Ms. Flame! That's the trophy, also.

Chris, I guess I deserve that since I posted the picture of you in the first place. But it's really not playing fair to mention the Ms. Flame thing to people that don't know the whole story. Meanie. Arghghghhghghgh.
