It's Because They're Cute!

Our dogs are not allowed on the couch!

So why do you constantly see pictures of our dogs lounging on the couch? I don't know, it's one of the many unexplained mysteries in my life.

Hiking With Daddy!

Joel has really gotten into photography, and I think he is really very talented. Eli, ever the observant one, has been collaborating with him on things like composition and framing. So, on this last hiking trip, Joel let Eli use the old camera. He was thrilled, and had a ball taking pictures! Isn't he adorable?

If you haven't guessed yet, "Hiking With Daddy" is going to be a regular installment of the blog, especially when summer arrives and the days are warmer and longer. The kids love to hike, Joel loves to hike, and it gives me the treat of having some alone time at the house. Everyone wins!

Let's Go Fly A Kite!

Joel found the coolest kite, and he and the boys were so excited to test it out! I guess it was working great and everyone was having the best time - until it hit the ground the wrong way and broke! Oh well, the important thing is that we got some good pictures first!
