We Are . . .

. . . Handsome Like Daddy.

Oh, fun with glasses - not quite like daddy's glasses, but fun to play with none-the-less. 

A Colorful Afternoon

From today, I want to remember . . .

That we finger painted on the deck this afternoon. . .

The way he drew his hot-rod, "Just like the one I'm going to drive one day."

The way her hair fell in her face & had paint in it - and she hardly noticed. . .

The paint (washable - whew!) that was all over their hands . . .

The way they would dip their fingers into one color paint, and then dip them into another color paint . . . and then she'd say "I'm making a rainbow . . . see Mom? . . . a rainbow"

My babies. . . my lovelies . . . my littles. . . growing fast and furious.

We slowed down today to paint, and for almost an hour, time seemed to slow down too as I tried to drink in every last ounce of this moment and the way we are today.

Happy Weekend.

The Sassy One

Her expression says a thousand words. . .

But mostly it says that she's VERY serious about her dominoes.

Oh, my sweet and sassy daughter . . . I do so love everything about you!

I Heart Faces Challenge: Water

This is from our beach trip earlier this summer.  I have so many more images to blog from this trip. Until then, I leave you with this one of my boy . . . clearly loving those waves. 

To see more images with water, head on over to iheartfaces.

Celebrating the 4th

We spent a glorious week at the lake with Dirck's sister and family. I have more pictures to come, and as soon as life slows down long enough for me to post them, I will (I promise!), but for now, here's a few of our 4th-of-July highlight.

A fun little neighborhood parade where candy was thrown to my kiddos, and they got to wave American flags at the "floats" (ie, golf carts).  My little lady here even had a Tiara thrown to her - made her day, I tell ya.

I've been so behind on this little blog-o-mine. I still have vacation pictures from May that I want to post and talk about, along with lots of stuff in between. Hopefully, I'll have time to do it one day . . .

Happy Weekend!

Lightening Bugs

Summer, fireflies, and kids go hand-in-hand.

These two are usually in bed long before these bugs come out and play. I think this made it even more exciting for them to actually catch a few.

Hope you are enjoying summer as much as we are.

Off To A Good Start

We are spending the first week of July at the lake, and here's a little snippet of our first night here:

Yep, July is certainly off to a good start.
