A silly girl

Love

I love the golden light at the end of the day, blowing bubbles and watching my girls chase them, and seeing my family all sitting together.





Yes, that handsome man is mine. Not only is he handsome, but he is my best friend and an amazing father. I don't know how I was lucky enough to be blessed so profusely, but I thank God for him every night.

A Visitor to the Woods

Technically I suppose we were the visitors, but we had never seen a snapping turtle in these woods before, so he is the visitor.





It would have been nice to have a person in the picture, just to give a sense of proportion. This turtle was BIG. So big, in fact, that there was no way I was going to risk my girls getting bitten by it while I took a picture. I guess you'll just have to take my word for it, it was big.

Fireworks!

Peanut saw her first fireworks display this year. She LOVED it, even though she put her hands over her ears. Popper wanted to take pictures of the fireworks, just like Mommy was. Since she was so intent on taking pictures, it was hard to tell if she was actually impressed by the fireworks. That's just Popper, though.

There are the pictures that I took.



I started finding heart shaped clouds in a bunch of my firework pictures. The picture below is just one of the heart clouds I found.

Blue Heron Hunting

No, not hunting with a gun, I was shooting them with my camera. We went canoeing on Father's Day and found ourselves surrounded by herons. It was pretty neat.

It's just what we do

Play in the puddles, rivers, streams, ponds, and lakes, that is. Who wouldn't? Look how much fun Peanut is having, don't you feel like joining in?

Family

One of my brothers and our youngest niece (the daughter of our oldest brother).
