Working Girl

When we get to missing our biggest girl, we trot down to the nursery for a quick visit. She doesn't always want her proud momma to take photos, but I do anyway. She'll love me for it one day :)
 
 
 
 
 
 
She's a great help to her Daddy as she avails herself for the work of weeding and watering, condensing and organizing tables. She'll discover as she grows, just how blessed she truly is to have the opportunity at her fingertips. For now, she prays as she labours and chats with cousins. She's joined the Connon's culture and growing up before my eyes.

Boating Gratitude

 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Gratitude:
 
 1359. clear, shallow. warm inlet of water--our fave
1360. fishing as a family
1361. how Molly dips her rod in for a moment and she gets a fish
1362. how everyone caught one and we were all happy :)
1363/ our yearly boat rental and how being in the middle of a lake makes us feel big and small
1364. stopping for ice cream at the marina near the locks
1365. how the cormorants race the boats in the sky
1366. how we jump off the boat in the middle of the lake for a deep dive swim
1367. how they sing like no one across the lake is listening from their cottages :)
1368. how we watched a mink scuttled across the dock and under the boathouse and how they tried to follow him
1369. how they all can pull apart worms and squish them onto hooks
1370. the way the wake mesmerizes when you stare lazily out the back of the boat

Tee Time!

I bumped along in the golf cart with the owner of the golf course, searching for the guys (and two women) from our church. It was our annual tournament and I was the photographer of the day, which afforded much laughter.
