Bringing in the beauty from my garden.
Mmm... delicious peonies.

Fresh fruit in abundance... what a blessing!
Happy Canada Day!

Heather's daughter and Meghan are also great friends.

Such interesting details. God has an amazing imagination!

I never want these days to end where the little things amuse them immensely.
Hup, Holland, Hup!

Meghan gets to be silly and dance outside of her ballet style for this number. She thoroughly enjoys herself.
This graduating dancer stars in her dance. All of her fellow dancers/friends pick her up and hug her goodbye at the end of the dance.

Special times in our cousins' pool.
Molly and Maddi, giggling as usual.
