April showers bring....

the spiders.... blech!!
I have noticed a definite increase in the number of bugs roaming freely around our house. And while I would NORMALLY just find a shoe and squish the little bugger, there was something strangely beautiful about how he (she?) was reflected in our double paned window. Unfortunately, she (he?) scooted away rather quickly after having its picture taken, so the "squishing" I'm so accustomed to doing never happened.
oh,well.

Photo Challenge #12 Candids

Sorry these are late, guys- my grandpa passed away yesterday, and with everything else I had planned this weekend, I just forgot to post!

Josiah and I made it up to visit Grandpa only 36 hours before he went to heaven- he gave a genuine smile when he saw Jsiah, and Josiah actually smiled back- it was SO touching!
In Memory of Grandpa "Perk"



We spent Easter weekend with Jonathan's family- and these are Heather's 3 oldest:

Happy 6 months, Ruthie!

My good friend, Katie, came over today with her daughter, and I had the opportunity to take Ruthie's 6 month photos- here are a few of my faves (it was hard not to put a bunch more in this list, cuz Ruthie was just being SO amazingly cute today!:)

This one touched my heart...Pray for Jonah!
