Picture Post

I had V's 2 year pictures taken today. It went better than usual. Now I can get the proofs online. Here is a sampling:












As you can tell, the barette made its way out of her hair eventually. We bought the white dress on clearance at the store and it ended up working great!

Vacation Post

We went up to Northern Michigan for a week's house rental on the water. It's something we've done several times before in various locations in Northern Michigan. Usually it is a nice house right on Lake Michigan, or in this case, an Inland Lake. It was nice to be outside and off work. If you think Michigan is just Detroit (which we all know is yucky), you are missing out on incredible beauty.


Victoria playing with toys the minute we got there.


Someone fell asleep with their Life preserver on.


Petting the animals outside the Black Star Farms Winery. (A huge hit!)


In front of Lake Michigan at Leelanau State Park. V loves to throw stones in the water (or anything in the water for that matter).


Giant Michigan strawberry that looks like a heart. Fresh local strawberries are amazing. They are so juicy and sweet, nothing like what is found in grocery stores even those can be good too.

I adore this child beyond words.

Pictures...

Everyone is always emailing me and saying how much they like the pictures. I find my life to be somewhat boring, especially at the present, but I have posted a few more pics for your viewing pleasure. I'm off to a meeting of my women's social group.

The 2nd photo is a picture of Sleeping Bear Dunes in N. Mich from last June. The 1st is from the Louvre in Paris - myself in front of the famous Monet painting.
