Simple Joys


Went to the park yesterday and the girl decided she needed her parasol. When she mentioned it to her former 3rd grade teacher, and then skipped off, the teacher looked at me and said, "Did she just say 'Parasol?'" I said, "Yup, I guess we are all transported to 1893."

One of my 1st grade art students came into my classroom at the end of the day on Friday. He carried this sunflower and had a bug huge smile on his face. When he handed me the flower he said: Happy Teacher Apreesh-you-way-shun! How can that NOT be a simple joy?

Today was my baby's birthday. She turned 10 and had quite the birthday. Mags gave her a microscope and Abby cracked it open as soon as we got home. VERY exciting. Good call Mags! She loves it.

Peaches greets us every afternoon. She always has a toy in her mouth to show off. She's VERY proud!

My kids are awesome. I often complain about how they drive me nuts, but man I love em. They are good sports too! They will pose for me just about any way I ask them to. I am blessed.

The joy isn't the subject of the photo, although he is kinda fun. The joy is the new macro lens I bought. I'm just learning how to work the thing, but I am having fun using it!

Took the kids to the Springs Preserves. It was a beautiful day for it! We saw lots of cool things. I got to take pictures of the plant-life. Here is a photo of one of the many species of flowers at the preserves. We also decided we needed to become members, so we can go back any time!
