Photo challenge: day 7

Going to church in Derry.

The photo above is technically my "photo-of-the-day" but I couldn't resist posting this next one too. One of the things I love about Ireland is the ancient history that is all around. Hundred year old buildings, multi-generational farms, and old graveyards with gravestone from the 1700s.

It's not too hard to image a horse and carriage parking down there a hundred years ago or so. It's a pretty tight fit for some cars these days!

Photo challenge: day 6

It's a perfect window-washing day!

Photo challenge: day 5

"The nappies, my friend, are blowing in the wind.

The nappies are blowing in the wind."

(or something like that)

Mariah crawled about while I hung up her nappies to dry (at about 1:30 this afternoon). If you look closely you will see that Mariah has dirt on her mouth...yes, she was eating it. She seems happy enough, although I was not. I lectured her on the germs and bugs that she could have ingested but she just looked at me with those big blue eyes and smiled. I don't think my lecture made much impact.

Photo Challenge: day 4

Look what came in the mail today!!!

Mariah's first passport.

I think she looks like a little Mafia baby in this picture. She wasn't really in the smiling mood in spite of my many efforts. This was the best one in the end, but I guess a person has to take these things seriously. After all, she is an official citizen of the USA now!

Photo Challenge: day 3

Rejoicing in this amazing day that God has made!

"This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."

Photo Challenge: day 2

Nothing says "Summer" like

juicy red strawberries!

(taken at 3:25 pm)

A few days ago, the very first strawberry was perfectly ripe and ready to eat. So I brought it into the house and David and I split it! We savored each teensy bite with happy summertime bliss.

Photo Challenge: day 1

Two girls that I admire very much have a wonderful blog here. They are doing a photo challenge and I am going to try my best to do one whenever I can...maybe more a photo-every-other-day in my case, but I will try my best!

Here is my photo from today! (actually two photos): Taken around 2:30 pm

This is Asher...he is just so squishably cute that I can hardly stand it!

We hung out with our babies while our husbands went golfing on this lovely day off (bank holiday). Thanks for a lovely day, Laura!
