I am beginning to find my rhythm again with linking up.  It is difficult for me to plan this 2 days in a row, but here I go!

Each fall we do a family photo.  Over the years they have gotten a little more detailed and sometimes complicated.  Some of that has to do with the number of people.  We are up to 13!  We did 2 settings this year and the one I am really excited about has not completed being Photoshop process.  It has a turquoise sofa in it!!  This photo above required inserting several heads from other photos, closing that drape to the right, and putting a real leg on the right sofa.  Photoshop is a miracle.

My granddaughter, Evelyn, loves scooping beans.  She does this for what seems like hours.  :)))

Maternity leave is over for my oldest daughter and I am now back to full time grandchildren.  I am only 2 days into it and am exhausted.  Four little ones 3 days a week and 5 on Thursdays.  Ages 4,3,2,1, newborn.  Any suggestions?  I am open to EVERYTHING!!!!!

It is Thursday and I am linking to Like Mother Like Daughter.

The mild temps last week gave the garden a chance to show off some more blooms.  Now that I have finally figured out a setting on my camera, these pictures look pretty good.

I know you may not think happy when you look at Zoey, but she had been outside on our first 100+ day and coming inside was pure joy for her!

My grandson was teaching me how to make salad.  Curious George happened to be on at the same time, so there is a little distraction in the video.  Not sure if I would really want to eat this salad!

Texas has been at the center of news the last few weeks. Today, the House passed HB2 which will put an end to abortions after 20 weeks and make the facilities that perform this murderous act comply with higher standards.  It is a win for Texas!  The bill goes to the Senate tomorrow and hopefully the vote will happen early next week.  And this time Wendy Davis can't do a thing!

Love reading all the posts!  We leave tomorrow for New Brunswick, Canada for a few days of R&R!
