It was the perfect night to watch the fifth grade team play football, sunny, breeze, not hot. It was a close game, and she was there keeping occupied by doing cartwheels up and down the hill and putting that hat off and on a million times. Looking forward to the weekend kids! Love, Grandma and […]
After numerous re-scheduling times, tonight was finally the night for her senior pictures. The photographer is the same one we’ve had for the past five kids, and she was as patient and sweet as always. Julia wanted her pictures in flowers, and that’s a tricky request.

It was a good weekend, a Sunday to Monday weekend for us. We were to watch Dan and Alicia’s kids on Monday, so he left them at the lake with us on Sunday night. We created a plan to go to the Wilderness Walk in the morning, and Dannell and John figured out a
Their wedding pictures were finally ordered, received and framed. It took months, but not years. Something about that arrangement of photos feels a little crooked, but also just right. Adjustments can be made, if anyone cares. Ahhh, sweet rainy August day. Love, MOM
