Beautiful inspiration...






Feeling pretty farm-girl lately. Craving vintage linens, fresh squeezed lemonade, and picnics.

Super good picture post






Wow! Finally some new pictures.
The first two are from a trip to Indiana in the spring. They do a "chalk walk" in downtown Jasper, IN, and some of the art is really nice.
The next one is in the backyard. We have horses in our backyard! Not our horses, just our neighbor's.
And the last one is of Annie's new sunglasses for this summer. Just like Uncle Will!

First Lost Tooth!, originally uploaded by lydie3.

She lost a tooth! Finally!

After weeks and weeks of wiggling this little tooth...it finally came out tonight! Unfortunately, it was swallowed right along with a bite of chicken nugget....LOL! We left a note for the tooth fairy to let her know what happened, and I think she'll still leave a little something...
Annika already likes to stick her tongue in the empty space. Ha!
