Almost 7 hours

That's how long it took to make what should have been a 4 1/2 hr drive. Throw in some throw-up from Aria and a diaper blow-out from Gabe and we're having fun!

Or not.

But we're home now, and I don't think I've ever seen Gabe so happy. He knows what home is!

Our backyard visitors

This is about 6:30 AM...shooting through the family room window.



Several hours later...about 10:30 I think, they had been sleeping.



I sent the kids out with apple slices. Deer got wary.



Walking away from the kids.



Speeding things up a bit. This is when they threw the apples and came back towards the house.



So the deer turned around to investigate.



and hung out for another 45 minutes or so before leaving...lol. It was about noon when I didn't see them anymore.

The Choice.

There comes a moment in every Mother's life where she is faced with a choice.

That moment usually comes when she realizes that the house has been unusally quiet for a little too long. She goes searching and comes upon a scene that causes an audible gasp and she is faced with two choices.

She can either panic and worry about the what-ifs, the mess, the germs, and the fear of her inadequacy as a Mother.

Or she can laugh. And laugh. And then take a picture.

I admit I had a breif moment of choice #1, but I settled on B.

As a preface, Gabe looooves to sit in things. Boxes, baskets, toy chests, so really...I shouldn't have been surprised.

Surround yourself with beautiful people

I got to take pictures of my wonderful friend, Lee, and her family, over the weekend. And not only is she gorgeous, but she's just about the nicest person I know and she's talented! After I did her pictures, I gave her a quick tutorial on my camera and she took my family pictures. And let me tell you, they are amazing. Especially considering my kids were in anti-smile mode, and half-way through Nathan had a melt-down because he ran into a branch covered in thorns.

Here are my favorites of Lee and her family, followed by my favorites of my family!











This one is getting blown up huge for my house!

Reason number 572

for why a baby should not play with the computer.



Good thing Dave is smart about computers or else I'd probably still be looking at an upside down desktop.

PS...Like my ghetto monitor stand? lol.

Sneak peak

Here are a few of the almost 500 pictures I took for my Aunt and Uncle and their kids and grandkids. I have it scaled down to around 150, but it'll still take a while to get through all of those! I'll link from here when they're all up!

Engagements...

Remember Dave's song? I think he should sing it at my cousin's wedding. "Now that we're engaged, tell me, what's your name?" lol.

Just kidding! I believe their wedding is three months after they started dating. That's much better than the 7 weeks that elapsed from when I met Dave and when we got married.

Congratulations, Teresa!

There are just a few here, I'll put all the rest on a different site so you can choose the ones you want burnt to your disk. I'll email you when they're done. The rest are now up right here.
