Front Yard Fun

This afternoon I thought my camera was very broken and was going to have to be sent away for repairs. I was SUPER bummed. I thought, 'How sad to be a photographer without a camera!" Luckily I think it was just bad batteries. With it back up and running I had to take it out and test it, and who better to help me out than this handsome boy?!

Today was a BEAUTIFUL 83 degree day after a week of incredible heat, incredible humidity, and incredible gross!

I'm participating in the Baltimore Bridal Show this Sunday and this is my table/booth! I went ahead and set it up in the foyer to see what I was going to tweak. This show has consumed me for the past 3+ weeks. It's a really big deal to the business and we are praying for a big sucess! (Or at least to break even :) ) Keep your fingers crossed for us this weekend while Rob and I are at the show, and Henry is getting to spend the whole day with Ms. Carly!

Wishes Do Come True!

Today Henry and I went on a walk with Mrs. Patty (a neighborhood friend we'll post more about later) and Daddy sat with Mr. Gil and swapped stories. After a good long walk, we took him to the Columbia mall and as we were leaving Macy's I showed him the fountain and told him about making a wish and tossing a coin in then asked if he would like to do it. I gave him a penny and said 'Now you have to make a wish like 'I wish we could have a yummy lunch' then you throw in your coin and maybe it will come true!' So he took his coin and THREW it into the fountain. I asked him what he wished for and he said 'I wished I could throw my coin into the fountain!' Wish GRANTED!

Toy Story 3

We took Henry to his first movie last week on one of Rob's days off! Henry got 'marching boots' (cowboy boots that he wasn't really interested in until we called them marching boots, because of a weird obsession with marching bands) with Buzz and Woody on them for Christmas this year and went through a wear-them-everyday phase. I'm sure you've seen them on the blog before. He loves them. But he didn't know who Buzz and Woody really were! He's never seen the other Toy Storys. Thanks to the magic of Disney's marketing though that doesn't seem to matter. He's been excited about Toy Story 3 just from commercials! When we got to the 'veater' he was even more excited! He did a great job sitting quietly and drinking his Sprite while the movie was on. It's amazing to see how big he is and to watch him do all of these big kid things!

If you haven't seen the movie, do it! It's now my favorite of the three.

A Very Happy 4th!!

Happy 4th everyone!!

It's hard to believe that last year Rob was in Iraq! We are so thankful to the Lord for bringing him home, and also to him and the many like him that continue to stand for our freedoms!!
