Around Here

 The garden is growing.

                 

                    Ghost peppers

  Tomatoes. They've been fruitful this year! You can see the bean vines growing with the tomatoes.

   The chickens are happy.

   These children are happy too, helping me gather the eggs.

Happy weekend!

The Girls

We had two sweet cousins at our house the other day. Isaac was out with Daddy, so the girls had "some girl time" (as Savannah said). I snapped a few cute pictures of them playing, and several of Avery. I don't have as many pictures of her, so I'm making up for it!

Avery is standing on her own now, and walking some too:

    Those eyes! Beautiful.

    These two had the best time together!

    Tea party time!!

    Savannah got a quick hug in before Avery got back to her business of play/exploration!

    The girls are so cute together aren't they?

    I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Morning Walks

I love walking down our road in the mornings, or anytime ~

A few cell phone pictures:

                    Pre-walk coffee ~

                   My walking buddies ~

                 
I've got peace like a river in my soul...

Anyone remember that song?

Happy Tuesday!

Happy Independence Day

   

We've had a quiet day so far, just hanging out and enjoying being a family. I hope all of you have been so blessed!

Lydia's Birthday

My youngest sister Lydia turned seventeen on the 14th of this month. She is still a little girl to me, and I guess she always will be! We celebrated her birthday a couple of weeks ago:

                              Lydia with our proud parents :)

                                         Lydia & me.

          Jesse (little bro), Lydia, Isaac, Kimberly.

                                    Lydia & the twins.

    Sisters! Melissa, Lydia, Kimberly.  We were missing you Jessica!!

I know this is a little late, but: HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYDIA! Blessings to you this year and every year! I love you!
