Check out what's in my backyard right now.

We have peony bushes here that I didn't know about --
they were done blooming when we got here last summer.
(I'd love to take some with me when we move --
any gardeners out there who can give me some advice?)

We're very happy that Daddy's itinerary says he's coming home today!

Our Christmas wreath is still hanging by our front door.
But it matches the stonework so well, don't you think?

Snapshots Around the World: Tree

From Snapshots Around the World: "Three women, three continents, a shared love of faith, family, and beauty in small things. We share a picture every week from our corners of the world. We celebrate our lives which are so different and yet so similar."

Here's my "Tree." (Thankfully, it doesn't look like this right now, but it did for a really. long. time this past winter.)


I'm really enjoying this new blog. Won't you link up, too?

Papa

As I was sorting through some photos this afternoon, I came across some of my Dad and his grandchildren, taken on his birthday two years ago. They cracked me up. So, in honor of his birthday last week and Father's Day tomorrow, I am posting them for your enjoyment.

We love you, Papa!

I received flowers today to "cheer" me
while I am spouse-less for the next fourteen days.

This Baby loves, loves, loves slides ...

{funny}

... and she gets REALLY upset
if one of her siblings beats her to it.

{real}

The Baby woke up at 3:30 this morning throwing up,
which she continued to do about every half hour until 11:30.
Thankfully, things are now looking up.

But I'm ready for bed.
