a little of this and that

I've been slacking in the blog department lately. With summertime comes little boys who want to spend every waking moment outside. They love to play and splash in the kiddie pool.

What a hot shot!


He does realize the water is only 6" deep, right??




When they aren't playing in the pool, they are riding bikes, playing ball, digging in the dirt, or begging for Popsicles.

Or just plain acting silly.


By the way, I am proud to report that the youngling is 100% potty trained! He hasn't had any accidents and has woken up dry from nap and bedtime for over a week now. I am so very happy to be done with diapers in this household!

Our garden is doing pretty well. We are starting to pull squash and zucchini off pretty much every day now. Sunday we had our 1st crop of green beans, just in time for Father's Day dinner, yum!



I've also started getting pretty busy with my photography business. I've had a session once a week for several weeks now and as a result I've been able to indulge in my long anticipated purchase of a new lens. Now to upgrade my camera body!

Here is a new favorite I took of this week old sweet pea, isn't he precious?!


I love that I get a chance to play with my camera and babies. It's a win, win situation!
