Okay, so luck ain't got nothin' to do with it...

But I have gotten to see three sets of friends/family I haven't seen in years right in a row this month!!  First was the Ndjerareou family, then my brother-in-law (and good friend,) Ryan, and his awesome new girlfriend Gloria, and then just today, I was with one of my bridesmaids, ("Katie Schuenke" to me) even though she's married and goes by "Kate" now, and got to meet her precious niece and nephew for a photo shoot!  It has been a rich month!  God is so good!  AND- VERY SOON- I am going to a Beth Moore conference with Kim and Julie!  YAY!!!

(I took these pictures back when we were with two of the Ndejrareou crew on the playground one day, and I have some super sweet ones of Sophia and Madalyn with their baby dolls in a field together that I haven't edited yet...)

(Madalyn, dancing)

Showing me how she can do her hair all by herself now...

Her drama face.

This hair clip she's using is actually for a My Little Pony, but whatever.    

Dancing...

More dancing...

and running...

and more running...

running and yelling...

Climbing...

Evan is a really natural climber.  (Okay, don't laugh at me, because you actually CAN tell already!  I swear!)  His body sort of molds to the rock and he's very loose and limber up there.  Shaun thinks he will be a swimmer, the way he moves like this and is built. (I think he will be a soccer player because we are beating him with his shin guards, and that has to have some sort of lasting effect on a kid.)

..being his sweet self.

...wondering if I got the shot already, and can he please carry on doin' his thang?

Sliding... (and biting lip... with a colorful arm he tattooed himself... in the "property of mom" shirt that used to be Evan's...)

SIGH... where does time go?
