Blue Song Mantle

Lions, Tigers, and Bears, Oh My

Thanks for being a proxy kid, Josh.  The camp kids especially loved this design.

You haven't lived until you've been to this kind of wedding.  Personally I think the old and young dance this best.

Goosey Lucy

I've read too many children's books lately.

French

I think I'll frame this image on my yellow bedroom wall.

Jungle fever

Yep, I've watched too many episodes of "Lost" this year.

Hands down my fav part of the Arkansas trip. What do you think Sage?

Where's Aidan? In the water, on the slide, going for another dive.

Hail, not my fav thing to drive home through this past summer.

Love your Mother

Cling often.

Note the gorgeous bouquet from work!
