My little nature nerd...

Found a couple of little snakes in our backyard today, and although she was squeamish at first, once she saw me holding them she wanted to! Then she wouldn't put them down (They are actually in a bucket with some sand and rocks right now - she wants to show them to the grandparents who will be here this evening, then she promises we will let them go!)... We have had several of these in the yard before (and actually bigger!) but when we expanded our patio I think we covered up some of their homes... She found some pieces of snake skin too, which I think are from a bigger one.

Happy Halloween everyone! :)

Hello again... from Kenna's camera!

Well the last month since Kenna's birthday has pretty much been survival mode for me while Joel has been recovering from his pulled-hamstring surgery! Work, clean, take care of the girls, repeat... repeat... repeat... And I certainly haven't been taking many pictures (well, quite a few with my phone but I haven't figured out how to post those directly, and frankly, my cell phone pictures are horrible anyway). I hope that changes through this week as we try to have some Halloween fun!

But I can tell you who HAS been taking pictures ~ McKenna and Adelyn! I thought I had downloaded her pics a few times in the last year, but when she started complaining the other day that her "disk was full", Joel was very sweet to get it hooked up to the new laptop and download the pics for her... all 385 or something! And then he took them off the camera so I'm sure there will be 100 more by tomorrow... So I thought I would jump back into the blogging with some great pics from Kenna'as camera. And I have to say I think her perspective sometimes is quite fascinating... future photographer in the making? ;)
