Just another summer day...

Lily's surgery is over and she is back at home drugged up on painkillers resting peacefully.

As for the rest of the bunch, some have been busy mowing...

{He got hot and decided he better switch to the riding lawnmower}

some are slipping and sliding in the backyard {Kase showed Keller how to do it but he prefers to do it his "own way" by sliding on his bottom or knees.}

and one child is finding new pets to raise.

Kase has never really been into bugs so this is a new adventure for us. This is definitely not my favorite part of raising boys. The dirt, the filth and the germs that go along w/digging in the dirt for critters is really tough for germaphobics and I happen to be a pretty big one. Thank goodness both boys are used to my madness so they know to wash hands and sanitize frequently. I promise I'm trying to get better in this area b/c I know it only gets worse as they get older. For now, I think I'll let the boys do the bug hunting while I try to figure out how to work the new zoom lens on my camera.

I think I'm going to like it but what's not to like when you're taking pictures of such a sweet face? Now if I can just figure out how to make the background fuzzy, I'll feel like a real pro. Thank you Kase for being my model and putting up with mommy taking "too many pictures". I promise one day you'll understand why I love taking pictures of my two precious children!
