Downtown....

So B* had Monday off so that he could recoup from our family reunion and we decided to spend the day downtown. We had a lot of fun! K* especially loved feeding the pigeons while C* really enjoyed running around. After spending a while at the circle we ventured through town and ended up at the canal where we enjoyed a paddle boat ride----

enjoy the sites from our adventure!

I know you must be wondering where the pics from the reunion are....well....I haven't had a chance to go through all 828 of them....hehe! I suppose I was a little camera happy!

Coincidence or Godincidence? You decide!

I was reading an article this morning in my Popular Photography Magazine and am amazed at how our Lord works.....the writer was given an assignment to write an article
"The Photographer's Guide to the Eye". The writer was personally fighting a personal battle with Hodgkin's Lymphoma which had caused severe dry eyes- he went on to say that his eyes had not produced tears in three years causing enormous amounts of pain. So while he was doing research for his assignment he came across an article that spoke of a treatment/study overseas that uses the plasma(serum) from your red blood cells mixed with a saline solution to produce a customized eyedrop to sooth the pain of the dry eyes. At the end of the article he talks about what a miracle it was that he was chosen to write the article which would lead him to find a treatment to his own sufferings.

So he never gives God credit in black and white but as I finished reading the article I smiled for having been witness to one of God's many miracles:)

If you want to read the article by John Owens- it's on pg 14 of the August 2008 issue of Popular Photography.

Happy 4th.....a little late.....

So I have realized that I don't like blogging without pictures.....is that crazy?

I don't know what my problem is but for some reason I feel as though everyone is more interested in pictures of my kids than reading what I have to write! So here are a few shots of the family spending time with our dear friends for the holiday!

As you can see- C* did NOT like the fireworks. Ok- that is a little bit of an understatement! He was TERRIFIED of them....I'm talking screaming, crying, covering his ears, and literally shaking! It was so funny- well, not funny but cute....you know what I mean! It was better when we went to watch the show after sunset but when B* and our friend K* were letting them off in the backyard- wow- you would have thought we were torturing him! We had a good time with our ex-neighbors and feel so blessed to have them in our lives! They have become our extended family- we spend Christmas, New Years, Easter, and the Fourth together every year! It is so nice to know that we have "family" here in Indiana:) Let's just hope they forgive us for last night.....I'll fill you in later- but for now I have errands to run!
