Perspective

Even in times of sadness, I find great joy in knowing that I wake up to this face every day. And my life is truly blessed.








(she loves all electronics, including the camera. Every time she hears the little beeps when I turn it on, she hunts me down, tackles me, and climbs all over me til she gets it. And that's what was happening in this last picture. Anybody remember the pictures from when she hated the camera???)

aaaack!!! Look at all those teeth! So freaking adorable!

I have a feeling she's going to be chasing Sopie and Keaton around the lodge at the reunion... and keeping up quite well!

So freakin' cute!

Oh and you will notice that all first borns do react to digital cameras more so than the second, third and fourth borns. Try and deny it with these guys: Taylor, Cameron, Zach, Hudson, Drew, and now Emma.

Wowzers. Bowzers. (thinks to self, "I wonder if she would taste good crackers and cheese...Magic 8 ball? Any guesses?...'Highly likely.' Just as I thought.")

WITH crackers and cheese. Apparently I speak to myself in partial/incomplete sentences.

And hey, what are these "times of sadness" to which you are referring?

Anna, our friend Jill passed away on Monday. She was 50, and it was very sudden. A pulmonary embolism, followed by cardiac arrest and multiple strokes. No one saw it coming. Viewing was last night, funeral and memorial service was earlier today, and an open house with her husband and kids tomorrow. So it's been a depressing week, and even more depressing weekend. Mike coached all three of her boys in track, and we spent a lot of time with her at track meets, and at their house hanging at the pool. She was just an awesome lady.
