The Simple Scents of Life

Well, these past two weeks have definitely been some of the busiest 14 days of the year! Each day has had it's own special moment attached to it, and the next few months have promises of the same. Instead of telling you all that we've done, I'll try to share it in pictures. Thanks to Emma, Caleb, Jessica and the Sanford girls for getting some of these shots!

William and his new "do."

We went to a wedding.

Steven peeking around trying to find his bride.

And there she is.

It's not everyday that you see such happiness.

Some of my models were going for a Vogue look...the others couldn't decide.

The epic shot...one of them is old enough to have pictures in black and white. :)

There was dancing.

And we got Thomas to play piano for our afternoon class!

Are we sure that Jessica knows how to use that?

Primer painters.

Where's Waldo?

An artistic streak, or is he going for the football player look?

I love to paint...especially when there is such good company to enjoy.

The only picture of Abby that I could find...Em was more interested in taking lots of pictures of Grace...

...who thought that the paint might taste good (Joke-long! :))

Melissa is eating banana, Thomas is washing dishes, and mom is making something. The only thing they have in common is that they're all making a funny face.

Scurrying around.

How much stuff can one hold?

No, Meli...you can't have my Polo Bears.

I'm not sure if this is a picture of my cute sign, or of the figure we call "Marie Antoinette."

We got to say "Hey" to Garrison over Skype.

Okay...out of all the hair-cutting pictures, this one is my favorite!

Ben wonders what his hair will look like when the professional is finished.

Jess had us all laughing as she tried to figure out how to use their camera.

We made lots of phone calls.

More phone calls! :) Talking to the two who found themselves hungry in the Denver airport.

Hunting for the perfect patterns.

Jessica got some new boots for her birthday.

The Evanses reminded mom that she really liked Pictionary.

My and my gang in Chicago.

Mom thinks that this shiny blue stuff is quite nice. ;)

Melissa thinks otherwise.

Melinda said that her dad would call five times during our trip to the Windy City. Can you guess how many times he actually called? Five.

So, we never ask people to take pictures for us...we always prop the camera on something or put it on the floor. It worked out great this time, only poor Lily got cut out!

Boots. I guess my ballet flats don't really fit in.

Okay, so scratch the blue...what do you think of the yellow?!?

Modeling fabric for me. Love you girls!

So long. Farewell...it's been a busy two weeks, memorable and very special, but oh-so-busy!
