SISTER = LOVE

then again, sometimes it doesn't

Not everyone likes roses

My husband took me out last night. We saw "Date Night". Then we ate at one of our favorite restaurants and I had the most luxurious lobster ravioli. It was a good time, and went by too fast (time together away from the kids always does).

On our way home we decided to drive by our old house. As we were driving through the neighborhood we were thinking that we didn't really miss it. Although we really liked it in Osgood, we prefer Rose Creek now simply because it's not a work in progress. It's finished, has mature trees and a beautiful walking path next to the golf course. Anyway, we drove by the house and were SHOCKED to find that they had dug up ALL of our plants. Roses, people....beautiful roses, lilies, salvias, clematis and much more. And now, it's bare.

Ok, I can understand that everyone has different preferences. And maybe they wanted to start over, do their own thing. Maybe they just moved them to the back. Maybe they have allergies. Or, maybe they just like looking at dirt. Whatever. It's not our property anymore, we just need to get over it. It's still hard to believe that anyone would just dig up all that beauty. I don't think I have pictures of the final stages of our garden but here are some that give you an idea of what they will no longer be enjoying...







sigh...

water fights and other stuff

Once again, I couldn't decide if I liked the black and whites or the color better, so you get both.

My husband. Isn't he the most handsome man you've ever seen? This probably embarrasses him terribly but I can't help it.





EDEN. As perfect & beautiful as the name implies. I could NOT have chosen a better suited name for her.




And Eden's eyeball.



Miss Emma


And with Hanna, we begin the water fight


The rest of the photos are unedited so the color is a bit blah compared to the others. I'm sure you'll deal.











It was the perfect afternoon to be outside with water bottles. The girls wanted SO BADLY to run through the sprinkler but I thought it was still a bit too chilly for that. I mean, the water from the hose is really cold. Water bottles seemed to be a great substitute.

morning rain

These last few are from our old camera. Eden has been taking pictures with it and these are her very own shots!

This is a great one of a bubble popping...


Love this one!
