Ft. Morgan AL

We made it down right after the rain, and the skies began to clear for our beach vaca with Mimi.

It was such a fun and relaxing place. 

Their first walk down to the sand after the shower.

And there is the face I love.

I was such a gorgeous night.

Whirlwind before the break

We had a work day with our oldest boy and our doggie Emery. 

And after some of our work was done Daddy appeased this boy and took him paddle boating before we headed home. 

This has been the state of our house lately.  Well I won't comment any more on how hard it has been to raise this one but he thinks he's the boss and can make his own rules.  

And then there are the moments where he tucks himself in the bed with sister and reads her books. 

Our girl at the Dr. yet again, yes for something minor........antbites.........we obtained enough antihistamine to chock a horse.

nothing a lollipop and Olympic barbie won't fix. 

And just like that she gets special pedicures at home too. 

late night chess games against himself.

Visit from Anna

My sweet friend Anna came in town from NC and came to visit.  I love that my Anna got to meet her.  

And that my Luke got to charm her like he always does.

The next afternoon we were able to spoil our oldest for a bit.  We took him (just momma and Daddy) to eat and to shop a little. 

This is what he picked out. 

Luke was content at home playing trains with Emmie of course. 

And we had some of our favorite friends over.  

Saturday morning we got up and went to pray and celebrate with some friends. 

We loved getting to see the kiddos that we have only been able to see in pictures. 

And later I had a little photo shoot with Anna and compared pics with this girl and myself on the same tricycle.

Just a beautiful rainbow on the way back from seeing Pat.
