Little surprises

Friday evening I was folding laundry and came across one of Katie's socks that felt a bit lumpy. I set it aside and soon found the matching sock, which was also lumpy. I set that aside too. Later Chris and I emptied out the socks to find almonds and hair accessories. We got a good chuckle from this. It's so funny that all those items stayed inside her socks through both the wash and dry cycles. The almonds look polished and shiny... and a bit chipped. Life is never boring with Katie around.

12 years ago today...

Two hearts came together.

Two lives were united.

Two dreams were joined as one dream come true.

And the two had:

A growing love,
Friendship,
Hope for the future,
Commitment to each other,
Covenants to keep.

And although the two have faced many trials and challenges along the way...
and still have many to come...
there has also been great joy.

And...

the dream goes on...

Happy Anniversary Honey!
I love you!
Tamara

Busy July

We've had a very busy July. I'm finally getting a few new posts on. We had a family reunion, a trip to the zoo, Katie's first dentist appt, a few illnesses and Tamara started a babysitting job (which I am really enjoying). Here are a few pics from our trip in July to a family reunion on my Mom's side of the family. I'm only posting a few pictures since Deedra and Stillman and Michelle families already put a bunch of photos on their blogs from the reunion. We had a great time at the reunion! We were also able to spend some time with Uncle Robin, Aunt Debbie and Cousin Danae. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

High Hopes and Heartbreak

Brooke White has a new album out! High Hopes and Heartbreak. Here are some of my favorite songs from her new album. A music video with one of her songs called Radio Radio. And recordings of her songs called High Hopes and Heartbreak, Out of the Ashes, and Little Bird. It's a great album! Better than her first! She co-wrote all of the songs except one.
