365 days, 365 pictures. That's my goal. Am I a photographer? Spend 30 seconds looking around, and you will see clearly I am not. But I do love preserving these days I have been given so that I can one day look back and remember them, because my memory is just not efficient enough to count on. Trust me.

I don't know which one scares me more...

Yep, the trampoline is still cool.

Fourth of July. Bare feet beware of burns, bring on the sparklers!

My nephew, Daniel. He really likes condiments.

A girl can never have too many brothers.

Oh wait, she can.

day 181

July 1


Assorted family members fell asleep last night star gazing on the trampoline. Gratefully I was not a part of that claustrophobic sleeping arrangement.

What? You don't let your five year old operate heavy machinery? You would if you had this five year old.

Porter in the aftermath of a watermelon eating session. His shirt, the casualty.

Things my kids know for sure: When your dad is gone for two and half months he will surely spoil you in a big way.

day 177

June 27


To celebrate Brian being home, we decided to kick the celebratory  week we went out to breakfast at the Black Bear Diner. That place gives you more food than the starving prisoners of war in Japan could have eaten. But it was oh, so good.

day 176

June 26

It's official. We have our dad/husband back again! I think this girl was the most excited of all.

June 25


Walking around shirtless with uncombed hair is the new normal for this boy this summer.

day 174


Hailey had a sleepover with the BFF today. They had two little shadows everywhere they went. One did whatever they did and the other... well, he just stood there and drooled on himself.

Day 173

June 23


Slip n' sliding. A summer must.
