so much to share, so many pictures . . .
first of all - for the month of July and the beginning of August, it has been rare to go without rain for more than a 24-hour period. so, things have been a bit muddy around here . . . some people find ways to have fun in the mud
and to look awfully cute doing it
they did get cleaned up in time to celebrate my baby brother's wedding
rivers are swollen
we've also had some whopper storms - whipping wind and pounding rain and tornadic activity - we've had to bail out of the camper and run to my parents' house in the middle of more than one night
but oh, these storms are beautiful!
and have i mentioned that i love living where we can see the clouds? well, i do.
sometimes the ground dries out enough for a lie-down in the dirt
and Ben builds
(a workbench in the garage in this case), and i paint
(it's so much easier to paint siding on the ground than when it is 30' up in the air), and isaac works until he's exhausted
and tomorrow, there will be a post with lots of pictures of the progress we've made on the house. this post is getting long enough! i could share and share and share . . . but i'll save some for tomorrow. :)
