Lost Fairy?

This little fairy was found wandering around our area. She must not be very old because she has her wings on sideways.

Happy Fourth of July

Here's our crew during the parade. I think Kaitlyn had already started filling her goody bag with gravel before we left the house. This was Kaitlyn's first Fourth of July as an American citizen. An idea both awesome and humbling.
She enjoyed sharing daddy's chicken dinner after the parade but needed her own bowl of ice cream afterwards. :D
Can't have a parade without the bagpipers in their kilts. Festive, eh?
Thank you to those who have given much for the freedom we now enjoy. Happy Fourth of July!

Jamison had a birthday!

Jamison turned nine this week. Yes, that is correct, even though the cake only has eight candles. I miscounted them somehow.
We had a picnic lunch and went swimming at Tolliver Falls with the Hittle kids.
Thus ending birthday season at our house! Woohoo! Now I don't have to remember anyone's birthday until November. Of course, I have to start hearing about birthday season(March - June) as soon as Christmas is over.
