Stuff of dreams

Of flowers and herbs

I love my garden.  But you wouldn't have guessed that by now, right?  I got a bit of time to weed this morning; I'm a happy girl!

July Garden

Summer fun

 Splashing with friends

 Sibling snuggles

 In the wagon, ready to walk to Mimi's house

(It was so hot & humid my camera fogged.)

 Singing in their "pool" (aka the unfolded laundry pile)

Our precious boy turned One!

We are so thankful for Josiah!  Both of our families came for a little party. 

Greta helped me to make a delicious chocolate cake with frosting and sprinkles. 

Josiah thought it was so yummy.  Greta liked that the special candle even had sprinkles on it.

Summer means fun in the water!

the 4th of July

Family and dear friends,
the waterpark and iced tea,
Caleb's outstanding barbecued ribs
and singing hymns together before dispersing at midnight.

We had a wonderful 4th of July.
