Photo of the Day: Second Date

Baby K and Lil’ W had their second date last week! (Check out photos from their first date, if you missed them.) We had the pleasure of visiting Lil’ W’s family last week in Colorado … more pics to come soon. I have about 450 to edit. 😉

Photo(s) of the Day: On the Farmstead

This weekend Baby K and I visited Deanna Rose Farmstead with two of my best friends and their four kiddos. These friends are two of four siblings, with a total of seven kids ages three and under. They’re used to the beautiful chaos of lots of children … I am not. But I loved every minute of it.

Feeding the ducks was quite a hit.

Look at that smile, and that hair! Such a pretty girl.

Photo of the Day: TGIF

I’ve had quite the day at work today. Luckily I have this photo from yesterday evening to make me smile. She’s definitely got the “Rhodes eyebrow!”

Impromptu Independence Day Photo Shoot

I was so excited that my good friend and blogger Mandy, and her husband David, joined us for our family Fourth of July celebration this year! On a whim, what turned out to be a photo of Baby K and me, turned into a mini family photo shoot. Most of these were taken by Mandy – thanks, friend!

Photo(s) of the Day: Sunday Mornings

Sunday mornings with Baby K are the best. She has been sleeping until about 9 a.m., so on Sundays I get to wake her up for a change – to get ready for church. I love opening her curtains, singing to her, and watching her stretch, squeak, and squirm, as if to say, “I’m not ready to wake up yet, Mom!” Once her eyes open she’s full of smiles. This weekend my sister and nephew got to witness this highlight of my week.

And by the way, Baby K is featured on my friend Mandy’s blog today – check it out!
