My darling Michael is on a business trip in Boston (umm...yea, that is like one of the most fun places in the whole world), so the girls and I are missing him awful. Katie is beside herself with puffy lip quivers.

Just some more pictures of my 4 day weekend.

Grandma dug out the pool for Mikki:

And the day wouldn't be complete without a yummy Popsicle! I think most of it ended up ON her.

And I cannot leave this photo under wraps and I feel with all my heart that I will get it blown up for my desk. My darling hubby, showing off his "guns". His words: not mine. (ok...I love his muscle, but shhh....we can't let it go to his head, right?)

And just a few more (ok...a lot more) of the farm.

I hope everyone had a beautiful and restful 4th. We just got back from the farm and it was lovely and quiet and peaceful. I saw all kinds of baby bunnies and birds, and got to eat fresh blueberries and raspberries off the bush. Just divine really.

A photo from our last night there...Mike put the kids to bed and let me have a photo "time out":

Dear Home,

How are you? I am fine. The weather is peachy here. I haven't seen you in a while...

I guess that is all for now.

Sorry for the picture overload tonight, but I couldn't choose a favorite. Who can resist a cowboy and a fair haired princess though, right?

I cannot think of a better way to start off the Month of July than with a cutie patootie like this. Miss K is a fast, toddling toddler (I am used to those by now), but just as sweet as can be. I chased her around her picturesque home for a couple of hours and could not have more fun. (I kind of think having a job this fun is cheating!)

Thanks for looking! (please click on image for bigger size)
