Steve and I have a common dream. To one day have a barn. Not just any barn. A barn similar to the one above. I am trying to release positive energy to the Universe and maybe one day this could be possible and you ALL are invited to our Autum Harvest party (s) held in the barn, of course. ;)You can see this...
So within about 2 days we went from eating delicious juicy watermelon on a beautiful afternoon in our backyard.......to taking all 3 kids to the doctor and finding out they all have ear and sinus infections!

I am taking pictures tonight just so I can enjoy these beauties when February...
This year for Father's Day I did pictures with our friend John of the kids. These mustache pictures were a surprise for him (if you know Steve, you know his secret love of mustaches) and it was worth it to hear him laugh again and again.
