Timber!

We had a really bad wind storm here last night and it took out a tree in our back yard! Hope everyone down south is safe.

Wheel Throwing class Day 1 of 6

We headed over to Creative Arts Studio in Royal Oak, Michigan, which is about 25 minutes away from our house. They host classes of all sorts but one in particular is a wheel throwing class. This is an excerpt from their website: 'The Creative Arts Studio’s clay room features state-of-the-art potter’s wheels where you can learn the art of wheel throwing. Experience the satisfaction of transforming your project from mud to masterpiece.'


The class is held every Monday for the next 6 weeks.

I'm kind of proud of these homemade cinnamon rolls. First attempt at it.

Valentine's Day 2012

Justin made reservations for us at La Dolce Vida. It was delicious and very romantic!

A very sad day at the Givhan house 1/3/2012

For those of you who don't know already we had to put Bruce down because he got very sick and the doctor said there wasn't much, if any, hope. We watched him suffer on and off for about a week and a half. He was the sweetest, kindest, and most gentle soul I have ever met in a dog and I was blessed to have him in my life for over seven years.
