Some days the light comes in through our front windows just gloriously and makes my daughter's beauty shine ever so brightly. She likes to giggle now when you kiss the palms of her hand or tickle her feet with your finger tips. Her favorite thing to sing is "La la la la" while her four fingers of her left hand are shoved in her mouth. She is perfect and I can't imagine life without her.

This year we asked our great friend, and professional photographer, Thomas Nash to take our family portraits. It is a little trickier now that there is a wee one of us and doing them ourselves is just not as easy or fun. He did a fabulous job and here are some of our favorites:

We have fantastic friends. Tim Coons, a local, amazing, and inspirational song-writer and artist hosted a project recently for his latest album. In essence, he asked a bunch of his artsy friends to take pictures that would go along with a song he posted from the album, each week in July, that he might be able to use for album art after the album is released. It was a huge hit. I watched as literally dozens of images flooding my instagram feed all hashtagged with Potomacproject, the name of his new album. Here's a great article written on Tim and his sweet wifey that was in the Tribune just a week or so ago now. http://www.greeleytribune.com/news/1605296-113/tim-betony-greeley-music The really exciting thing, which as soon I found out, brought me to tears, is that one of my images, and further, an image I took of Amity made it into the top 8 of his favorites and will be featured in the first 100 special cased albums. Here's the sweet picture of her you will be happy t

Amity and I spent today at our dear friend Tim and Betony's house. Betony is an all around amazingly awesome woman, who inspires me beyond words in both motherhood and artistically. She also is a fabulous cook to add to her many talents and today we spent time in her kitchen, making it smell wonderful with homemade salsa she is going to can. When we pulled up, Bet texted me to let me know that I better come in the front door. There is a very important birthday party happening in front of the back one. Here's little Lucy with her whole birthday set up for none other than the sweet bear you see propped up with all of his friends. They were enjoying juice and crab apples. She is so stinking adorable! We realized cooking and canning before having lunch would only make us crabby patties and so we started by having some devine, light sandwiches out on the front porch. It's hard to believe that Harriet's birthday is just over a month away
