OK, so I know its been forever since I posted, but I didn't want to lose this picture in cyberspace. I WANT THIS KITCHEN!!!! This is the best room I've ever seen!

Beautiful inspiration...

Feeling pretty farm-girl lately. Craving vintage linens, fresh squeezed lemonade, and picnics.

Just the cutest girl in the world for your Tuesday morning pleasure!

Super good picture post

Wow! Finally some new pictures.
The first two are from a trip to Indiana in the spring. They do a "chalk walk" in downtown Jasper, IN, and some of the art is really nice.
The next one is in the backyard. We have horses in our backyard! Not our horses, just our neighbor's.
And the last one is of Annie's new sunglasses for this summer. Just like Uncle Will!

Long time, no post! I've just been so busy being internationally famous...sitting for portraits, etc.

Sooooo cute!

She lost a tooth! Finally!

She likes to stick her tongue in the empty space!, originally uploaded by lydie3.

After weeks and weeks of wiggling this little tooth...it finally came out tonight! Unfortunately, it was swallowed right along with a bite of chicken nugget....LOL! We left a note for the tooth fairy to let her know what happened, and I think she'll still leave a little something...
Annika already likes to stick her tongue in the empty space. Ha!
