Up close

My Luci.

Some of you may know my little girl already. When home, we are virtually inseparable. My children comment "she loves you best, mom"

She's just the cutest little pup. So gentle and loving. Sweet and full of character. There's just so much to love about Luci.

Today, while missing my boys (they are at a week long camp on Lake Erie) I decided to distract myself. I pulled out my macro lens...it's been awhile! As I was taking close-ups of all the pretty flowers in our yard, Luci was right there with me. I just had to take her pic.

Her beautiful golden lashes make me swoon. I mean. Seriously. Are they not to die for?

Maybe just maybe. It might be time. Time for Luci to get a playmate.
To be continued....

Proud Mama

Among a number of other milestones that have taken place around here lately, my son was promoted from Middle School to High School today. My husband captured this moment of us after the ceremony. It's one of *those* pictures that speaks a thousand words.

I have so much on my heart I'd like to share, a million photographs and numerous blog posts swimming around in my head but for now, this one photo is enough.
