Pictures Tell a Story

What does this picture say to you..?

My daughter helped take care of her brother all day on our recent trip to the Biltmore Estates. He is a wanderer. We not only have to keep a close eye on him but we hold his hand as well. So here she is being the best big sister she can be just before she helps him down some steps.

May, where did you go?

It's been another busy month.
We just had 156 pictures printed at Walgreens to prove it.

Here's one of my favorites.
Taken at Samantha's Graduation.

Please, ignore my sons eyes.
I don't understand why one child always has to have their eyes closed.
As you can see, this one is a bonus.


Summer has arrived!
I know, it hasn't officially. However, that is what it looks like around here these days.

Tomatoes...already?

Dear May 2009,
Goodbye. You went by too quick. I hardly noticed you were here at all.
I know there will never be a "next time". That makes me kind of sad!
Can you tell June to stay as long as it likes? Please?
Your Friend,
Maria

Big News! An addition to the family

It's a boy!

Ha!

It's not what you may think. I am not expecting baby number 7.

We have however gained a new kitty. Making us a family of four cats, three dogs, 5 goats with two mamas expecting any day now and several crazy chickens! All outside, mind you! I shiver to think what a zoo I would really run with animals and children inside this house.

Here is a picture of "Eeyore" hiding under a bed.
ok - so he did come in for a while when he first arrived.
I think he's cute!

I love kittens. But like children they grow way to fast.
