summer snap shots

this is what i love about photos. the best part of this picture is the water splatterings in the backround and i never saw them once that day but arn't they precious? such a happy summer thing--can't you just visualize all the water interaction we had on the pier that day?

two of the most beautiful girls that have ever graced my life. (yes, i got to share a house with them this summer. i am a lucky girl) also, my strange, wig-of-hairdo that the humidy invents for me.

the sun and eric. it does not get better than this. honestly. two things that soothe me instananeously.

and yes, he did wash his hair in the rain. my very own Tarzan.

two tired girls and a camera

..have a laugh.
and watch this video on helen's blog.

since ya'll couldn't babysit with me today...

...I'm gonna show you the glory I ended up in.
sometimes i think that when i actually get my very own house and going to have a complete break/melt down. i am infinitely fascinated with arranging shapes and colors and textures. my eyes got a total overload. here are a few of the spaces...

fresh from the chicken's butt! (we grabbed them from the henhouse)

I am so happy in all of this fantastic fabulous-ness.
(Frannie actually posed me here. but it expresses my feelings about the place quite nicely.)

my house&mate

eric, notice the TOMS. !!

Out of every places I'ved lived in the two years since I've left Covenant (there have been five) this one feels most like home and I'm loving every single little moment of it.

For all of you who don't know, my the adorable creature beside me is Helen Muriel Miller.
she's real good at making my life real good;)

mail us! (4509 1/2 B, that is)

once more to philadelphia

In comparison with Philly, Denver is like living in a meadow. 

nuff said. 

 boy rockin it out with a way-larger-than-life, bright yellow, tree frog at the base of the philly art museum.  incredibly entertaining!

my friend from moore, becky riley. we met up at Darling's cafe for a chat and some coffee before i headed back to westminster. when we went to school together we would grab a bowl of soup here between classes. very crazy feeling sitting right back down in those same chairs with my red-head friend.  she's is such a kindred spirit. wish i could take her with me on all my ventures!

funny thing: this little leaf never fell off my hood for the entire two and half hours that i was driving 65 miles an hour on highways and interstates. whhaat? i do not understand.

buttons, pies and the like.

every now and then i'll come across an etsy's seller whose every creation i adore.

well, one of those 'now-and-thens' happened this morning!

found these lovelies this morning 

on my way to something else.

 so sweet and delicate but downright punchy too.

what i look like most evenings.

I think Sean was testing the lighting or something on the camera and snapped this photo.  turned out kinda cozy.

and is a definently realistic portrait of me.

he had been showing me photos of baby August who is super tiny and completely gorgeous. 

One more week in the Kelly nest and then on to Tennesee 

and all those wonderful faces!
