Photos

How do you spell fun?
R-A-M-E-N--N-O-O-D-L-E-S.
Okay seriously, gross. But I saw this in the check-out at the grocery store and I couldn't pass by without taking a photo. I didn't buy it, but don't those tacos look tempting? I'll be longing for that recipe for weeks.

Juice Lady

This little gal loves her juice. She also loves to boss people around. I think she's probably happiest if she's bossing people around while drinking juice.

Some of the beautiful flowers that have been brightening up my kitchen since the wedding on Sunday - thanks, Cody and Mellary.

Deacon

Our sweet little Deacon is one month old today, and he took some time this evening to coo at me and give me some smiles. He's growing up so fast!
We are so blessed to have this little man in our family, and it is so sweet to see how Markus, Wyatt, and Bailey have welcomed their baby brother with such open arms. While being a family of six has its crazy moments, I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Hail

The aftermath of a freak hail storm while we were eating supper. The sun was still shining when the rain started pouring, and when the rain and hail stopped, the sun quickly shone its face once again.

Therapy

I have a dishwasher. That makes the times I stand at the sink washing dishes a matter of choice, not necessity. Turn on a little Coldplay in my strangely quiet house, and this is where I go for therapy. Cheaper than lying in a chaise telling my problems to a stranger.

We were blessed this day, to celebrate my brother Cody getting married. This is his beautiful bride Mellary, and her dad as they wait to walk down the aisle. I know the beauty, class, and elegance of the day were a reflection of my new sister, and that she is a woman of integrity and devotion. I am so looking forward to getting to know her better. You can never have too many sisters!

Delighted

Friends of ours got married this afternoon, and we are thrilled for them. They are such a sweet couple.

One of only two photos I took today, aside from being a tad out of focus I think it turned out quite well.

Great Grandma

Here we have Miss Bailey, sitting with her Great Grandma. I didn't expect her to be keen on sitting with her great grandparents since she was having a bit of an off day, but she was happy to be held.

As a side note, when I'm my grandma's age I hope my skin looks like hers. Honestly, I think she has aged better than some people half her age!

Rx

Off to the pharmacy this evening, for prescriptions for me and baby. I'm showing symptoms of thrush, and Deacon needs to be treated as well even though he's not showing any symptoms, because he could reinfect me if he's not treated. Blah.

As annoying as it all is, I am incredibly thankful that I could just call my midwife and have her call in a prescription rather than have to get in to see a doctor.
