Practice Joy
I have been reading a new book, one that has been going around. But, if you haven't thought about picking it up yet, please do!
The thing I love about this author is how she experiences her everyday life - dishes, laundry, teaching six (!) kids, being the wife of a farmer. Her words are honest, raw, revealing. She weaves the spiritual into every aspect of her day. She writes of finding joy, of learning to find it, of practicing the learning to find it. This is how far I have read, and this is where I am today.
So I picked up the camera and captured my two babies playing together. I have been thinking lot about how they may play as they grow older in the same house. And this makes me smile. It brings me joy.

Sans Sand
Ok, so we forgot to dip her tiny toes in the surf, and we didn't really let her play in the sand, but didn't she look cute for her first trip to the beach?

Reservoir Guns
Our summer Memphis trip is pretty much always determined by when my cousin is going to be in town. And, although I love to see him and his wife, it is really for one reason: to watch our kids play together. Lee adores his cousin, Logan, and this year did not disappoint. Logan taught Lee how to play with his water gun, one that Lee could actually hold, pump, and shoot all by himself (a pretty important criteria these days). The coolest part of this gun is that it will grow with him - for now we can use a small water bottle for the reservoir, and one day, we can graduate to 2L bottles.
Naturally, we quickly had to teach Lee who was an appropriate target (Logan, of course) and who was not (KW, of course). He caught on, though, and they had a great time playing in Kiki's backyard.
