For Ryan and Emily

Yesterday I had a wonderful visit with Ryan and Emily and heard about their recent travels to Croatia.  I could still hear their enthusiasm even after being back for a few days!  They both have incredible pictures.  It makes me want to jump over the "pond" and see it first hand.

Ryan asked me if the lilacs were blooming in our yard - which of course they are (but are a little battered by several downpours and windy days) - these photos are mostly for them....

Nothing Better than Family

The past month has been really busy for me with wonderful trips to see my daughter, Colleen and her family in Wyoming, working a lot (Proms, graduations and Mother's Day) and a quick trip up to see Amy and her family for Mother's Day and Selah's dedication.

Michelle surprised me with flowers when I returned from Jackson (so I wouldn't be doing my own at work:) ) and Ryan sent me flowers this week on my day off.  How fun to still receive flowers from my wonderful family - especially when they made sure I wouldn't be working!

Some little memories from my travels....

Simple joy, simple toys......bubbles!

Selah's dedication... Praising God for His faithfulness.

Raina - getting more expressive all the time...

Sadie enjoying one of her favorite things....yogurt!

Can a little girl really have too many sunglasses?
