and her big sis, who is only 6 months older than david.

and so grown up.

matthias always calls naomi and hope is cousins

and even though they aren’t really cousins, they are friends so close

it’s kinda like being cousins.

this pic of david and daddy melts my heart.

they look alike in their walk and dress.

in honor of father’s day, can i just say

*I LOVE MY HUSBAND*

and he is such a good daddy.

not sure what kind of birds these are

but i thought they were so interesting with their long necks.

every time we see a bird matty screams, “mommy, a bird!! quicky grab your camera!”

guess he knows mama likes to take pics of birds.

what he doesn’t realize is half the time i’m too lazy!

  1. I really really love that picture of your husband & son too! It really just seems to capture so much of life right in that little snapshot…it captures love.

  2. I could look at pictures of flowers all day long! I love when the one bud is in focus and everything else is out of focus. I drift off to my serenity place when I see pics like that! Thanks, Lisa!
    Worked on some cards this morning. Always feels good when I can do something creative. Gotta get my creative juices flowing again with photography. That’s on my to-do list this year!

  3. I love, LOVE your photographs … they bring a quiet beauty to simple things.

    *hmmm just noticed it’s getting a little overcast and will probably rain (hope I don’t lose power again – YIKES).
    *am going to enjoy a nice hot shower before I do anything!
    *felt the love yesterday when my friend’s ashes were scattered in Lake Michigan during his memorial

    xoL

  4. *my vacation ends tomorrow.
    *have I mentioned that when I purchased one of your marked by love necklaces for a friend who lost her baby that my Customer Service was off the charts good???
    *I ‘secretly’ enjoy reading blogs
    *I am trying to decide whether or not to homeschool my kids.
    *my daughter recently weaned herself from nursing…(some sadness here)…but I still hear that contented sigh as she’s drinking her bottle…and I so enjoyed hearing that tonight as she was falling asleep drinking her bedtime bottle.
    *the baby is 8 months and #3.
    *laid in bed with my 2 1/2 yr old daughter tonight and played the game that my Dad played with me when he would put me to bed each night…”Nighty night! Sleepy tight! Don’t let the bed bugs….
    …….BITE BITE BITE BITE!!!” Of course there is lots of tickling during the “BITE” parts 🙂 Was so sweet to hear her singing it to herself long after we had said our goodnights tonight…love her to pieces.
    *am missing my oldest and only son who is out with his older cousins seeing Toy Story 3 at the Drive In!! (he just turned 5) YES, the drive in, and YES, he thinks he is something else!

    …and that’s about it… LoVe your work and enjoy your blog. I’m looking forward to my 7 yr. anniversary in July. I asked for your Open Circle necklace… hehehe, we’ll see?!?!

  5. Lisa,
    I just ordered 2 necklaces from you. One for my 15 year old daughter – a dancer and a worrier – and one for myself. I am half way through the year and I am finally ordering my word of the year necklace…. I need the gentle reminder. It was such a easy process. Maybe too easy now that I know… yikes.
    I quite enjoy your space here.
    If you ever come up to BC you must let us know.

    Pax.

  6. i realized this morning i need to roast more coffee. no time, so i had to buy a cuppa! =(
    before i swept the pool, i could see the bottom. now it’s green. kinda scared to get in there and finish cleaning it.
    i love how my girl screamed tonight because she was so happy to see her daddy (forget the food she was eating, and the fact that i lost some hearing…)
    i love how my girl fell asleep on my chest tonight (rare!!) and snored away.

  7. Random thoughts, yikes I’ve had SUCH a week – way too much stress so my random thoughts have randomed up and gone! Smiles.. slightly stressed ones, but trying not to be! Now where’s my Rescue Remedy!

  8. I love pics of birds and flowers too. If the birds in your picture are about the size of a duck and you are not too far from water, then my guess is that they are cormorants. They have long skinny necks so that they can dive down and catch fish. That’s my random thought for today.

  9. I am ONLY random lately, so I’ll play!
    my brother is expecting twins next week
    I love coffee so much, but I think it’s ruining my sleep
    My hair is so long, I look like Crystal Gail. (ok, not really, but my husband keeps accidentally pulling it. Yesterday, it got it caught while he was crossing his arms and I was standing in front of him. We were in a restaurant in the middle of a conversation with friends, so I tried to play it off, while asking him to free my hair. Subtlety didn’t work and the whole thing ended in a loud, OW! and, how did that happen? Time for a cut!)
    We’ve moved a lot. I’m feeling for you today. 🙂

  10. can’t wait to see your new digs
    thanks for sharing – love the family news & pics
    you are one lucky lady with a life full of love & happiness

    -I am looking forward to my anniversary date with my husband (of 6 years now!) on Saturday!
    -I began ripping apart my closet last night. It’s literally a closet & I counted 39 holes in the walls. Hmmmm.
