A Beautiful Life (In Pictures)

First things first, let's see some baby deliciousness :)


We got a new camera, and it takes great pictures! Can you believe Baby K is nearly 5 months! sniff, sniff. It goes quicker with each baby!


She was hungry and couldn't keep her eyes off the flag flapping in the breeze outside the window.

I LOVE this smile - she crinkles her nose. Babies are great!





Hi Mama! Let me touch that camera!


That flag!

See that nice clean carpet? Thanks Dad for shampooing it for us! He also painted this room this week. What a Dad! If you think of it, please say a prayer for him - he lost his job several weeks ago now, and there is just not much out there for work.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alright, now to big kid fun (with some baby pictures mixed in here and there :) ). I love having bigger kids. They are so fun! They are so gentle with the baby, and boy does she love her big brothers and sister! They are really cool you know :)
Loving his first pony ride!

Not loving her first pony ride! Well she loved the idea, but she has a fear of heights - I'm thinking this is a thing you are born with. Nothing has ever happened that should cause her to be afraid - hmmm, I dunno. I don't like heights either, maybe its genetic?




How about some pictures around our home? Isn't God awesome? I mean He creates such beautiful things? Children, sunrises.....
...baby birds......

....beautiful flowers.......things to make you crack up!....
And, no I didn't forget about my oldest son. He is turning into quite the shy young man! I have to sneak up on him to get pictures!
Or take them when he's not looking!
Not everyone is camera shy in this family though!

May you find beauty in the simple things as this summer "unofficially" begins this weekend.
God is so good.
Thank You Father for giving me a truly beautiful life!
God bless!

No, it was granddad - my Dad - oops, should have made that more clear :)

Stay, stay at home, my heart, and rest;
Home-keeping hearts are happiest,
For those that wander they know not where
Are full of trouble and full of care;
To stay at home is best.

Weary and homesick and distressed,
They wander east, they wander west,
And are baffled and beaten and blown about
By the winds of the wilderness of doubt;
To stay at home is best.

Then stay at home, my heart, and rest;
The bird is safest in its nest;
O'er all that flutter their wings and fly
A hawk is hovering in the sky;
To stay at home is best.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
