oh what a day

What to do with a Sunday that is mostly "free?"  With Chris working at the church we don't often have these days.  The contemporary service has been moved to Thursday for the summer and so today was a dog day out...speaking of dogs...she might not make it to the blog all that often since I seem to take pictures of everything else, but this is our trusty guard dog...Emmaleigh.  She's almost 8.  And that just reminds me that Chris and I have been married for almost eight years.  We got Emmaleigh three months after we got married.  She was just a pup and got us kicked out of our apartment, but she has been with us through every move and each new kid.  She has seen her days of sleeping on our bed go to the wayside as we had to make room for new babies.  But, I couldn't imagine a day without her here and I know the boys feel the same way.  Chris on the other hand...
I was cleaning up the backyard and behind our garage we kind of have a small little dump spot for branches and what not that fell after the years pick-up was over.  I think we may actually have an old Christmas tree back there, but let's not get into how clean I am...Anyway, I saw a bit of pink out of the corner of my eye and was shocked to find this little flower growing up through all the grossness of that spot.  It kind of reminded me of the great work that I know is being done with me...Something I need to be reminded of from time to time.
And of course, I can't post without a couple pictures of my lovely boys...we had a family date to Starbucks today.

Hi! It's Angela (Ciabattari). I linked back to your blog from mine. Your boys are ADORABLE. How fun to see your life ten years later! I won't be at the reunion but maybe we will run into each other in the near future! Take Care!
