Casual friday
Over the winter I had a bit of a snit about my camera and decided that I hated it; it wasn't good enough with its delayed shutter and lack of interchangeable lenses. A few days ago while looking through my photo files I decided to get over myself and start taking pictures again. I realized I sounded just like Loren and Cass when they are being spoiled and entitled. I would love to have the sorts of cameras my mother uses but for the meantime I will model acceptance to the children and get over being such a brat.
These were all from this afternoon. This is the view I see of Loren the most right now. I bought the kids a trampoline for their return from Missouri, I haven't yet figured out how to get the safety walls up and so spend most the days in a panic over their spines. Cassidy has taken to wearing this pirate face about the house, I don't know why. If the girl feels the need to cross dress then so be it. I have taken up gardening this summer and obsessively check the flowers everyday. At least five times throughout the days. Clearly I need a life. This week marked the debut of the summer hammock. I had forgotten just how much Devon loves the hammock and mostly forbids the rest of us to set foot near it....

These pics are so good. I know how you feel about your camera. I now have my dream camera and I’ve had it a little more than a year. Sometimes in life you have to wait things out but you still should be taking pictures because when your kids are grown, they won’t care what camera you used.
I love the mountain view. What would I give for a view like that. Cass is as usual, gorgeous and Devon is a sweetie pie. I’d like crawl on the with him. Your flowers are so pretty. I know what you mean by looking at them so often. To me, the biggest part of my love for my flowers is watching them grow each day and monitor their progress. I kind of feel let down once they bloom. Then I know it’s over for another year.
I’m so glad your back to blogging. I was missing you and kind of worried when I didn’t see you while your kids were gone.
