I downloaded pictures recently and was surprised to find this. and this and let’s not leave out this… It appears that Daddy decided to let this kids take pictures (a twist for us, as typically Mommy or Daddy are the ones behind the camera) When asked why the goofy faces he replied, “I had to come up with new things for them to take pictures of.”

I am entering this picture in a photo contest at 5 Minutes for Mom. This photo captures my daughters joy as she was introduced to swimming in the Chesapeake Bay. What summer fun this wasClick here for more pictures of summer fun.

We have a tradition at our house that we do every day when Daddy comes home. I don’t know exactly when or how it started, but as soon as Maggie (our dog) barks to let us know he’s home, my older two children dash and hide. Daddy then has to find them. I’m sure the words, "Daddy’s home…HIDE!" were just the words he longed to hear after a hard day of work, but he always plays along and looks "high and low" till he finds them and is greeting with smiles and giggles.

This week I celebrated my birthday. As I mentioned yesterday, I love birthdays. Even though I am a "grown up" now and I am not supposed to care about my birthday, I do. A lot. I don’t just look forward to it. I count down the weeks and days until it arrives. When I was a kid I used to have my parents wake me up to say Happy Birthday at the exact minute I was born.

I LOVE Chick-Fil-A. I could go on and on about how family friendly they are, how good their food is, how I think Truitt Cathy is such a great example of a godly businessman… but I will save my love affair with Chick-Fil-A, the inventors of the chicken sandwich, for another post, or two… Friday was Cow Appreciation Day. I know this because I subscribe to the Chick-Fil-A e-mail updates and I am in on all things up and coming at Chick-Fil-A.

I treasure these days when I am the girl in his life. For more Wordless Wednesdays, click here.
