New shade garden...

So, if you know me, you KNEW there would be many, many pics of plants! Here is my favorite bed so far. It only had the dogwood tree and the ferns emerging when we moved in... I've added hosta's, huchera, and some color! LOVE it so far.

What do you think....?

Good for ONE gallon of gas!

.... Funny, but almost true!

Our new Home!

So, to add a little bit of our new home... here is an early picture of our Newport home. We're busy making it our own! I will add pics of some of the progress as it comes! We've made great strides in getting it to where it is now, and can hardly wait to work on the yard! It has great "bones" to work with!

What a Ham!

THIS is my little girl. She is so full of enthusiasm. While trying to take some quick pics recently, this is what I captured. This is typical for Lauren... always joking around, with a smile!

Sushi at Pirahna

Awesome Sushi and Sashimi dinner at Pirahna. Hey, don't knock it unless you've tried it. It is absolutely awesome, and I actually might prefer my fish raw.... well, Sushi grade fish, anyway!

I'll start with today...

So, today being Sunday... it was another AWESOME day at Lifechurch.tv. The final, but GREAT message in the Warrior series. The Passionate Warrior.

After church, lunch and a few household chores... Brooke and I went to Trinity Park to go have her Senior Pictures taken by a Lifechurch friend, Brandon Hayman. http://artbrandphoto.blogspot.com/ What a great day! I have not seen the pics yet, but I took pictures of Brandon taking pictures of Brooke! Just candid working shots. The backdrops were spectacular. A great spring green park, beautiful trees, and some awesome brightly painted old abandoned buildings!!!

Can't wait to see the proofs!

Oh, my... where do I start...!

Let's see... where DO I begin???
