Crayola Makes Bubbles?

Did you know this?

{Thanks to Emily I also know that Crayola makes sandbox sand, which we need  to try out....when we get a sandbox}

 This stuff is messy.

 So messy that we needed a dip in the newly installed {inflated} pool.

 Which didn't keep us away from the bubbles for very long.

 Messy I tell ya.

A Few Thoughts

My Aunt Priscilla sent me this today.  I loved it.  I even got choked up a few times.

Thanks Aunt Priscilla!

Enjoy Friends. 

IN A FLASH

In a FLASH; In the blink of an eye....

...he is no longer a baby.  At least to the outside world.

A Visit With Aunt Priscilla

Or Aunt Silla, as Thomas calls her. 

 Thomas played with my cousin, Chris's, train set from when he was a little boy.

 He liked sitting in Andrew and Samuel's chairs. 

I'm thankful we got to visit with her.

Two Year Portrait

Last week Thomas had his two year portrait made.

I had the hardest time deciding because they were all so wonderful. I had to make a decision there in Kim's office and I was so stumped.  I narrowed it down to these three for our wall portrait.  Then, took an iphone pic and sent it out to friends and family to gather a consensus.

What do yo think? Which one would you choose?

AN EASY FIX

I really love black and whites.... When I grow up I want that to be my specialty; black and white photography.  This is a total cop.out (to use my Dad's term), but it got rid of that gross yellow. 

I welcome your suggestions.

Shameless Bathtime Pictures

I've been practicing my photo skills using manual mode without a flash. These were taken in dim light, but I wish I knew why they are so strong yellow.  Anyone got any suggestions?   

I tried to fix the exposure in the first two and just gave up because it was just too strong and pictures started looking blown out.

Yet this I call to mind

and therefore I have hope:

Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,

for his compassions never fail.

They are new every morning;

great is your faithfulness.
