Abby got out of school a week before all the neighbor kids and was so excited when they were finally done too. The very first Monday she and her friend, Bridgette, spent the entire day together going back and forth between houses and playing all sorts of fun stuff together. During one stop out our house they pulled out the water toys and got busy. It was so fun to watch them and such a beautiful afternoon so I got my camera out to play with the settings. They obliged me by posing, doing cartwheels, handstands, leaps and just being generally silly. They kept saying "take a picture of this" over and over! It reminded me of the carefree days of summer when I was a kid and things were less structured than they are today... when you just roamed and did whatever you felt like whenever you felt like it. Looks like it is going to be a great summer!Oh, and guess who is NOT afraid of water? Cole crawled right into the middle of the action. He was fascinated by the squirty things and didn't even flinch when they squirted him in the face. He sat and explored and watched them and laughed until he was literally soaking wet and shivering!

Good question. I love my family, photography, and scrapbooking. This seems like a quick and easy way to share my love of all three with all of you...and you can even post your own comments. It also seems like "instant gratification" scrapbooking to me. I can post things as they happen instead of waiting a couple years for something to actually make it into the scrapbooks. Don't worry...I'm not giving up scrapbooking (gasp!), just adding to it. Besides, how many of you are really going to come flip through all my scrapbooks (although, you are more than welcome to do so)? So, come back often...I plan to update it at least once a week and we lead very exciting lives! Be sure to go through the archives so you can see what we've been doing since January. Oh, yeah! Let me know if you have a blog so I can check it out and add you to our list!
