Anal Retentive

I love my kids. I don't think I brag about them the same way other parents do. If my first grader was on a 7th grade reading level, I don't think I would brag about that. But if, in this situation, he decides that he needs to organize his day, down to the last "drop" (hehe) you bet, I'm gonna brag about that!!! Those are the moments in life that make all the other hum-drum-having-a-bad-day-can't-figure-out-what-to-fix-for-dinner moments worth it!

Plus, his priorities are in order.

"hug mom"

is above

"poop."

Props to me!

The photos beneath are the work of Rider Allen. I give him a camera and he loves to take pictures all around the house and yard! I love his perspective. The simple things add up to being the most important things :)

Pics on Mother's Day

For Mom's Day I wanted to take some family pics.





So we, being imposing, were driving down a road called Phalanx Mills Herner, and decided to ask some super nice people if we could take family photos on their property!!!






They were super nice and we got acquainted for a while and then took some nice photos!



We aren't use to the sun here, so we were all pretty much squinting the entire time! But it was fun and nice to have some pics of the family in Ohio!
