Catching Some Rays

The Biggest...

... spider I have ever seen in real life was on my back porch last week. All of the "hair" on her abdomen is actually about 200 baby spiders.
Don't worry, we killed all of them. Its safe to drink coffee outside once again.

Saturday Morning on the Back Porch

Look at all of the puppy prints.

Daisy is a giant lap dog.

Everyone wants to be in the mamma's lap.

Princess Daisy doesn't want to touch the ground.

Elvis has left the building... but has shown up in my back yard.

Daisy can be so prissy sometimes.

Flowers on Easter Weekend

Afternoon Snack

Mud and grass sure beat dog food any day!

Blackjack Road in Jackson

Who knew LB could move like that. Brittany paused mid-song to remind him that his mother was in the audience.

Lazy Daisy & Ellie

The girls are being very lazy on this hot, February day. Its almost 80 outside.

I guess Ellie was in a silly mood . Daisy makes a good pillow.

Two More Down...

Derek and I have been working on painting the bathrooms in our house these past few days. The color we chose is a lighter, softer version of the yellow in our living room. I really like it.

Say Hello to Martin

This is my new friend Martin. He is the fattest squirrel I have ever seen, although in this photo he looks rather slim. Martin's favorite activity is sitting around the squirrel feeder eating corn ALL DAY LONG. He and his girlfriend Samantha have gone through all of their food in 2 weeks. Derek and I thought the food would last at least a month or longer. The mess that these two make attracts all sorts of birds to my yard. One afternoon I counted 10 male cardinals, 6 female cardinals, 2 blue jays, 2 wood peckers, and a whole flock of cute little brown birds all pecking around at the same time.

Blackjack Road in Hattiesburg

I can't believe I didn't get any good shots of LB playing this time. You'll just have to settle for this one with me in it.

The Bottling Co. is really a neat place with tons of vintage charm, including the front half of an old VW bug.

Happy New Year!

I'm only a few days late posting this one.

The fireworks displays in our neighborhood were rediculous. Thousands of dollars and one Christmas tree went up in smoke around the stroke of midnight. Derek and I sat out front and enjoyed the near 30 minute display. The little girls, especially Ellie, weren't too keen on it though.

Happy New Year!

Christmas Day in Philadelphia

And the winner is...

This was the photo I used for my Christmas cards this year.
