We drove five hundred miles

to see family. And I think the girls were more excited to see the other cousins who also drove five hundred miles (give or take) than anyone else.

There is the advantage of them all being girls about the same age.

Were you picturing this?

Mmm, watermelon

I just get the feeling...

I am raising climbers.

Cute girlies

On a day this summer when the girls were looking cute (as always) and their hair was actually fixed (not quite as always) I decided to get some pictures of them. I took a lot. These are a few of my favorites.

Some time back

The girls wanted a picture of their sidewalk art. I was busy, so I handed them my camera. Then I completely forgot about the occasion. This is a sampling of what I found on my camera the other day when I finally got around to looking at the pictures I'd taken. I was a little confused at first, since I didn't recall taking these pictures.

I love how they posed with their sidewalk art. And the random pictures of plants. The top center picture is our attempt at a flower garden. That was about the best it ever got. The flowers came up, but never got any bigger. I guess we don't have too many green-thumbs in this house.
