Summer fun

Happy Independence Day!!

Memory

Some pics...

This is our sweet little cuddle bug, just before

bed time!

doesnt this look like a painting;

I want to someday get a canvas

of this with the "painted" effect to it,

I think it'd be so fun!

Thats it for now... thought I'd have

more but thats all folks!

Hiccup

I randomly flip through my facebook account, i'm not a very active "friend..." actually lately I've been more active on it because I keep messaging my sweet R about our trip to go visit and celebrate her in August!

Anyway while there today, I saw that my Aunt posted this amazing video- I'm not sure she knows how much this might impact those in my immediate family who see it, but as for me, I just sobbed!

How I miss our sweet Michelle! Please watch this video

and teach a teenager to be CAREFUL! It seems harmless until you

lose someone so quickly!

Enjoy summer and stay safe! I love you all and want you around for a long time!

White Rain

I looked out the window and what did I see!?!

In May, you have got to be kidding me!

Nope, it's snowing!

So much for all those plants I finally got in the ground yesterday!

I am hoping for the best; that all my digging and protecting-against-Mobi efforts pay off...that my plants survive this late spring snow.

A fun picture - not the best shot, but such a fun memory- Camilla getting tickled by Daddy and laughing the most adorable laugh in the world!

I have been reading a ton, mostly for fun, and ran across this awesome quote- I hope you read it, enjoy it, and ponder it!

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

-Calvin Coolidge

30th President of the United States

I'll leave it at that. Ciao
