Beauty

Beauty in growth.

Ian is driving the go-cart for the first time!

Beauty in smiles.

Anya is always up for a photo opportunity!

And beauty in nature.

Pretty flowers, backed by a corn field, and covered by a beautiful sky!

Sunflowers

If I were a flower.. I would be a sunflower.
To always follow the sun, Turn my back to darkness,
Stand proud, tall and straight even with my head full of seeds.

New Life is a Blessing!

A bird made a nest in a flower pot I have hanging on our porch. About two weeks ago I discovered that she laid eggs, 5 to be precise.

This was a very dedicated mother, she sat there even while I tormented her with the flash of my camera!

Today I heard some little chirps! All five of the eggs hatched! You can only see four in the picture, but I assure you all five are in there. One little bugger is just hidden. I was so excited when I found them today.

Picture Perfect

It's not broken, it's just picture perfect!

These photo effects were added with Perfect Effects 4. My new favorite editing software!

Just a walk in the woods!

The kids and I went on a walk today. After a short walk through the woods we made it to the creek. Playing in the water was very refreshing. After the creek we were able to see a tractor in the field! Ian and Anya were very excited to see that. I love how spending some time in nature clears the mind and leaves room for the rest of the day!
