Sunday Snapshot- Park Time

Another busy summer weekend has come and gone.  With it many more pictures to sort but I wanted to share some of our cute niece.  A perfect overcast day to play at the park!

At two she is full of energy and curiosity.

Determination was never in short supply either.

We are headed into a big week. A birthday is just a day away.  A trip in the horizon and well some catching up for Mom...oh I hope!  I can't believe it is July...please don't go to fast this month!

Sunday Snapshot- A Grandmother's Love

A Grandma's love is an amazing kind of love.  It is completely given freely. After all grandchildren are for enjoyment without all those parental responsibilities.  It is amazing to watch as Mom loves grandchild number eight. Miss Elizabeth may not know it but Grandma will always be in her corner!

I have watched Mom love all her "babies".  Five are biological and three from adoption and they are all loved the same. This is the most amazing part of love to me and always will be. It's ability to expand with such an amazing force to all without biology really being anything at all.

Favorite Friday Photo- Father's Day Hike

For Father's Day we headed out on a hike with friends.  We all had such a great time.  It was gorgeous from the top!

Our poor state is on fire it seems so it was nice to see a beautiful sky created with a clear blue color.


It was a perfect end to a Father's Day. This family is looking forward to a lot more hiking this summer!  Praying for moisture!

365 Photos- Camping and Canning


A week of a little canning and camping in our house.  This strawberry rhubarb jelly is usually the first canning I do for the season.  I love refilling those jars for the upcoming winter!

I had a lot of help this year.  These little ones did a lot of chopping and then some smashing.  Guess which job they liked best!

Then it was time to have some cousins stay and head off to Girl Scout day camp.  They were all smiles when I picked them up with the words "We love it there"!

Sunday Snapshot-Two Dads

In my life I have been blessed to be loved by two great Dad's.  One was a Dad who taught me right from wrong. He taught me what it means to have a parent who is truly there for his girls and wife.  Years later I would marry a man who would be a lot like my father. He loves his kids so deeply while at the same time teaching them right from wrong.  They love him dearly!
Happy Father's Day!
