Please, may I take this bug to church?

We catch a few of these around the yard every summer.

Uncle Dustin set up our trampoline yesterday.

Lorelei is still too afraid to jump on it.

Thank you uncle Dustin, you're awesome!

First Day of School

Memory Monday:Hands

I had some wonderful ideas for this week. Unfortunately I ran out of time to see them through. So I will probably be taking this weeks challenge into the future. These are a couple of quick shots I took, the first was taken about five minutes after I read what the challenge would be for the week. Who can resist little hands.

This one is my favorite. I've been singing part of a song all week called "Daddy's Hands" so I knew I had to get at least one of these.

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin´.
Daddy´s hands, were hard as steel when I´d done wrong.
Daddy´s hands, weren´t always gentle
But I´ve come to understand.
There was always love in Daddy´s hands.
