    These pictures are precious! The girls, all of you!, are beautiful. And to see that baby in your arms is the answer to so many prayers!

    You dirty dog! I was guessing that smile was after cocktail hour — until I saw the bottle and I see it was during cocktail hour! I'm glad your hens made some pretty pictures while we talked. It was lovely to really talk for a change! I'm going to go virtually join you, darin'.

    My girls can't wait to wet their chalk now!! I can pretty much guess which ones would draw pretty flowers and butterflies and who would paint their faces and who would just try every color!!

    Hope it's a fun 4th and blessed Baptism, if you think of it, say hello to Fr D for me, (Parents gave him his old white ford truck…that will help him remember without giving the names on the internet!)

    Glad to see you taking a break, babies are like that, they make us sit down sometimes and relax, don't they?

    I love these pictures of your family, and especially the baby!! Really takes a Mom back to those infant days. You look wonderful! God bless.

    I was just pointing out the fabulous chalk art to my 5 year old, she was quite impressed. Then she pointed to your picture and said oooh look at that girl, she's cool!

    Just thought you would like to know that.

    peace,

    Mojito, mmm … I guess being pg is good though too.

    Do you like that wrap? What kind is it? Did you try any others that you liked/disliked?

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
