Up and Coming Photographer

We are babysitting some sweet and super cute little children today.  I took Josie outside earlier to take pictures.  She wanted to "do it herself" so I let her use my Canon camera.  I think she liked it!  :)  Here are a few of my favorite shots from today and random photos from the past couple of weeks.   Enjoy!

Josie has the most gorgeous red hair! 

We have recently been doing a lot of work in our kitchen area.  Mama painted the cupboards and we all laid a new floor. Papa did an incredible job laying the tile and it looks beautiful! Elijah and Jeremiah, having zero experience in grouting, completed the job like pros.  :) 

Just last week, Teddy got in the pool for the first time - he'll go anywhere for a treat! :) 

Teddy loves to jump when he gets excited. 

Amanda and I had a sweet opportunity to serve at a wedding last week.  Old Heritage catered the food and we served it.  We had a blast! :) 

The veggie tray. 

The cheese tray was so pretty with the tomato roses in the center. 

After the wedding, I went out to the Richter's and stayed the night.  Their cousins came for a visit, too.  This is Grant's new puppy, Badger. 

In the evening, we went out to the field and took a whole bunch of photos.  I love the soft evening lighting that makes everything feel so warm. 

Margo in the cornfield. 

"Jeddy Blue" :) 

I really, really like this photo. 

After I took this picture, I got stung by an angry wasp. :) 

One thing about photography that really draws my attention is lines.  Fields are a great place to get gorgeous photos with lines stretching on and on. 

Reading the Bible before the service. 

Lauren is such a sweet big sister. 

After church and the fellowship meal, the kids went down to the playground.  Jeremiah dug a deep hole in the sand. Jeddy enjoyed it a whole bunch! 

Haley, the gymnast. :) 

I was going after some squirrels the other day with my camera.  I climbed the tree barefoot and had Jeremiah hand up the camera. :)  The squirrels ran away, but I was able to get this sweet shot of my little Christian. 

In church, I noticed that baby Chase's hair forms a heart on the back of his little head.  How sweet is that!?!

Have a blessed and joy filled day, everyone!
