Their house on the lake.
I think it is very pretty.


Like all the lake houses in my family over the years, this one is a work in progress.


A view looking out across their pier.


This week also involved a lot of activity at my parent's old house.

 Thanks to my brother, his wife and children,
we've gone from scenes like the one above
to the following scenes.

Having a baby in the house is very interesting and exciting in lots of way.

Baby paraphernalia abounds in almost every room of the house.

He has the cutest bath time toys.  I should take more photos of them.

 Babies sure do eat a lot.  lol

And they have this never ending need to chew on things.
Which leads to having an abundance of chew toys.

Along with all the things and excitement, babies bring a lot of love into a home.

Occasionally, mom and dad get a break from parenting and spend some time together.

I know this is hard to believe, but not every thing at home revolves around baby Jesse.  

Jeremy and his dad moved a fridge into the garage.  

We needed more cold storage space.
We talked about putting it on the front porch, but thought people might steal all the beer.
j/k

I'm still decorating my room. 

I think I will hang this sculpture on the wall as soon as I decide on the right place.

A shot of rain.

I hope you enjoyed the pictures.

I'm not very good at shooting fireworks, but I have a lot of fun trying.  

Here are some I took on the 4th of July.

 Have as much as as possible!

One morning I went to McDonald's for hotcakes and iced coffees.
I wasn't hungry or thirsty.

Then there was the day Naomi came to visit and kindly posed in the doorway for me.  

She loves photography and she likes to play.  

She just forgets to sometimes.

The daylilies in the front bed are blooming.
They are doubly beautiful.

This is the back deck hand rail into the yard.
For some reason I like taking pictures of it.

The guardian protecting the north side of the sun room.

The baby bathtub is a never ending source of amusement.

It is weird the things one finds under people's desks at work.

Cosmetology is a never ending source of fun, laughter

 and photo ops.

It is odd how the things people saved and maybe cherished wind up looking like bags of rubbish at the end of the day.

All this with my parent's estate has really caused me to reevaluate my possessions with a much more critical eye.
A lot more of the 'things' in my life are going out the door.

No weekly update would be complete without the star of the show here at home.

Have an outstanding weekend filled with fun, love, and laughter.
