Valentine picture

Melissa really likes to take pictures, of just about anything, but my favorites are the ones she takes of herself. She took the one of JR, which is such a classic face!



Here I was trying to take a picture of them together, but JR had better things to do at the moment. Lissy got flustered that he wouldn't stand with her which you can see in the next shot.



"Mom he won't stay next to me."
"It's okay honey I got a picture of you."


Happy Valentine's Day!

Rainbow

We had a great rain storm today, that stopped in the late afternoon. When I noticed that there was sunshine I told Lissy we should go look for a rainbow. She got very excited about the idea of one. So I peeked out the front window and lo and behold there it was big, bright and beautifull. So I pulled up the blinds to show her and we stared in wonder. It's always pretty outside after rain anyways so to have a rainbow also is a double treat. I ran outside to take pictures since I was the only one dressed and shoes on, and I wanted to hurry, and could then see that it was a full rainbow. It was too close for me to get it all in one shot. Then I ran back inside and quickly clothed and shoed the kids to take them to see. Lissy loved it, and she even mentioned it in our dinner prayer. So sweet! We are thankfull for the rain cause it brings beautifull things to pass.

Our house is on the left in this picture. I wish I had gotten the kids in the picture, but in all the hustle I didn't take the camera out the second time and then it started to fade.
