A delicate lavender bloom at our house … any takers on what kind of plant this is?
(By the way, the answer to Wednesday’s photo is Sheltie puppies!)

What a beautiful morning for the Making Strides Against Cancer Kick-off Breakfast at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium! A pink sky for a pink event – it couldn’t have been more perfect.

My husband’s aunt breeds and shows these dogs, but this weekend was the first time we got to meet a litter of her pups. These sweet girls were only 4 weeks old. I’ll give you 3 guesses on what breed they are, and you may need all 3 – they don’t look anything like the full-grown dogs!

We stayed at my in-laws this weekend in Southeast Kansas. As I stumbled my way downstairs, still half asleep around 7 a.m., I saw this out the front door. I immediately grabbed my camera and headed outside, barefoot and in my pj’s. My in-laws weren’t the least bit surprised when I came back in with wet grass clippings caked to my feet. They sure do know me! This photo is dedicated to my mother-in-law – today is her birthday!

Unlike the majority of my Facebook friends, I don’t have any back to school photos to share with you. (Unless you’d like to see the bulletin boards in my husband’s classroom.) So I pulled out this photo from my two-year-old archives of our pretty cat, Esme. She looks a little older and a little heavier now, but she’s still just as mischievous.

Playing around a few nights ago when my nephew came to visit…


Here’s an abstract photo from this weekend’s wedding. If I could change one thing, I’d zoom out just a little so the groom’s hand isn’t cut off. But there’s nothing I can do about it now! As you can see, the bride and groom, along with the other guests, had a great time at the reception!

Saturday night we had the pleasure of attending a friend’s wedding at the historic Granada Theater. I’ve seen some awesome photos of weddings at theaters, and my husband and I actually looked at theater for our own reception venue, but this is the first time I’ve ever attended a wedding at a theater. It was great! We sat at tables for the both the wedding and the reception. No long span of time between the two, no leaving so they can change the set-up from wedding to reception, no distant drive between venues. It was a beautiful wedding and I wish the couple nothing but the best.
