She is such a fun little girl. She is crawling, sitting and has two sweet little teeth. She smiles so easily and is just a complete joy to be with. I tried to get a few images of her during our time with them.</span><br />

I tried to get some family photos while we were there. It didn't go quite as smoothly this year with a 15 month old that really needed to do her own thing :) I still think we got some fun photos. You will notice that 3 year old Lucy wasn't all that thrilled about the whole photo thing either. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Mark and EllaKate got married! And they had a beautiful wedding. EllaKate's mom, April, is my very good friend. And since I owed her quite a few favors, she was able to talk me into doing something that is way out of my comfort zone. I don't photograph weddings! Thankfully my daughter, <a href="http://www.naomiglennphotography.com/" target="_blank">Naomi</a> came and helped me!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">EllaKate and Mark were married in her parents back yard. Such a lovely setting. A lot of love from many family members went into making this a wonderful event to remember.</span></div>

I set up my home studio room for the first time in almost 2 years. I am so happy we were able to get some images of her. She is so happy and smiley :) She's not quite sitting up alone yet but almost! We sure are in love with her.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The lovely hat and tieback is by my friend at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AprilsYarnables" target="_blank">AprilsYarnables</a>. Thanks April!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I had a great time hanging out with EllaKate and Mark one evening this week. I've known EllaKate for a number of years now as she is the lovely daughter of one of my very best friends, April. And it was my pleasure to get to know Mark. I haven't been using my camera much lately and this fun couple let me practice on them. We had fun :)</span></div>

I'm very out of practice since I haven't been doing sessions for a while now. We had fun. And of course, I think I had the cutest subjects :) For those who follow my blog but don't really know me, this is my daughter, son in law and our four grandchildren.</span><br />

But I was able to get a few of our sweet new Eloise today. She is one week old today and has been super sleepy. But today, she woke up!! So I got very few images of her. Here is one of my favorites from today. </span><br />

There just isn't much better than peas straight from the garden. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have never really enjoyed shelling peas. It seems so tedious and time consuming.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt=" photo Peas_0005_zps3af935e5.jpg" border="0" src="http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy348/basimmons/Peas_0005_zps3af935e5.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today, after I got home with my fresh garden goods, I knew the peas would have to be cooked tonight!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt=" photo Peas_0009_zpsb14b5d3a.jpg" border="0" src="http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy348/basimmons/Peas_0009_zpsb14b5d3a.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I even looked forward to shelling them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt=" photo Peas_0011_zps3f531569.jpg" border="0" src="http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy348/basimmons/Peas_0011_zps3f531569.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As I sat outside enjoying the spring weather and shelling my fresh peas, I recalled years ago when I used to shell them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt=" photo Peas_0023_zps7b148e75.jpg" border="0" src="http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy348/basimmons/Peas_0023_zps7b148e75.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have fond memories of shelling peas with my grandpa. Not that I loved the work, but he always made things fun. It was just fun to be with him.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt=" photo Peas_0026_zps3d67a94f.jpg" border="0" src="http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy348/basimmons/Peas_0026_zps3d67a94f.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My grandpa loved gadgets. One year he purchased a gadget that shelled peas! It worked kind of like a ringer washer. It didn't really work all that great but we had fun trying it together.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt=" photo Peas_0033_zps93de9472.jpg" border="0" src="http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy348/basimmons/Peas_0033_zps93de9472.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was much slower today with getting my peas shelled. It took me awhile to get back in the groove of it after all these years. I might have finished the job much sooner if I wasn't eating them as I shelled them :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt=" photo Peas_0040_zpsf383bbbc.jpg" border="0" src="http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy348/basimmons/Peas_0040_zpsf383bbbc.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have to admit, I was a bit melancholy as I prepared these fresh peas tonight. But I'm also thankful to have such sweet memories of sharing garden chores with my dear grandpa. And, they were super yummy with our meal :)</span></div>

They've had a rough start and I really didn't think they would make it. However, each year they come back bigger and better! They make me happy :)</span><br />

We had so much fun! I didn't really take many photos at all except for some on the phone. This morning I took the opportunity to try and get a few shots while Naomi was packing to go home. When the older two saw me put Lucy on the air mattress and start snapping, they were all the sudden interested in getting their photo taken as well :) It didn't last long but we had fun. </span><br />

Today is the last day that any family will live in my family home. The home I grew up in and has had my folks living there for over 56 years. Today, I said good bye to my precious Aunt Mom. My Aunt for my whole life and my step mother for the past 15 + years. Since my dad went on to heaven in January plans have been made for her to move back to Michigan to be near her own children. And today, she left.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We sent her off with this fine crew from MI. I think you can see from their faces that her family is happy to be getting her back! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">All her things, packed and ready to go. See why we are going to miss her so? She is so much fun!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Good bye for now beautiful lady. We will be heading north for a visit for sure! Thank you for everything Aunt Phyllis. Thank you for showing us all such unconditional love. I am so fortunate and blessed to have had you in my life!</span></div>

I started with trying a little target practice with Steve. I'm certainly in need of more practice in that area of shooting! I soon put that away and enjoyed the rest of the afternoon shooting with my camera, which I'm way more comfortable with. I think Steve felt a lot more comfortable with a camera in my hands too :)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I've been gone from my blog for a long time now. Actually, I have been gone from my camera as well. But I am starting to feel the urge to pick it back up again. So, I'm back....maybe :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We have recently begun to eat wheat free at our house. We are hoping for some health benefits for ourselves and also trying to encourage a friend who is eating this way for health as well. The search for satisfactory sandwich bread is not an easy one. There are lots of wheat and gluten free breads in the stores ready made. However, since we are continuing our quest to also eat whole foods with minimal processing and without weird ingredients, that basically leaves it up to me to bake it. And I'm ok with that if I could just find that perfect loaf. Here is my first try. I'm not at all sure this is the one I'm looking for.</span><br />

These have been days I will forever cherish. My siblings came from out of town and we loved daddy together until he left our hands and went straight into Jesus' loving arms. We sang, reminisced, read scripture and held his hand along with his wife, our "Aunt Mom". Please don't look at these photos as sad but see them as a beautiful gift to us, his family. We were given the gift of loving him together during his final days. On his last morning, as we were singing around his bed, we all heard him try to join our song. So very special. Then at 7:59am on January 25, 2013, our daddy entered into heaven with Jesus for eternity. So thankful for the hope and assurance that we will see him again someday. Thank you daddy, for being the very best!<br />

It was apparent that he had a severe GI bleed. He was so very sick all night long. I took care of him the very best I could and Steve came to help of course. But as soon as they could, my siblings came from their out of state homes to be with daddy as well. I can't express how wonderful it has been to have my family here with me during this time. We have all shared the constant physical care of daddy and been able to love him together as a family. What a blessing!<br />

When I got to his house to stay the night with him, he was sitting on this couch instead of in his usual chair. I told him I was glad he was sitting there because then I could sit right beside him. He said, "thrilling" or something similar. He was still trying to be funny like he always is. But I could tell he was feeling poorly. This was the last time I saw my dad able to sit up in his living room. I'm so glad I asked my husband to snap this photo of us together.<br />

My younger sister Cindy, and her husband Darrell came up from NC to visit with daddy today. We had a great day together. After daddy's near brush with death yesterday, he seemed even more alert and chipper today. He stayed awake for most of the day with just a few cat naps. He seemed to really enjoy having people around. Thank you Cindy and Darrel for making the trip up!<br />

Daddy has asked several times today where his house is. I think being in a different home for a few days has got him confused. We just got word that the power at their home has come on. Steve has gone ahead to set up heaters and make sure everything is functioning well. We will then take the folks back home. Daddy says he sure will be glad to be in his own bed tonight :) He said he plans on having sweet dreams. We should be getting them home just in time to help get daddy all settled in his bed for the night. </div>

After a lot of prayers and help from good people, we got daddy and Phyllis safely to our house for the night. He had quite a restless night and none of us got much sleep. However, when he got up later in the morning, he was in great spirits and more coherent than we have seen in a while. His hospice nurse, Marcia, was kind enough to visit him at our house. She was happy to see the marked improvement in daddy. As you can see he had a great time with her.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
A couple of hours later when I got him to the table to eat, he was alert and started eating his lunch right away. In just a couple of minutes he became unresponsive and unable to focus on anything. His color changed rapidly and he was clammy. Marcia was kind enough to come back out to check on him. He eventually came around enough for Steve to be able to get him in a recliner. With his 02, blanket and a good nap, he woke back up around 6pm acting almost back to normal! We pushed the recliners together and Phyllis napped right beside him. So sweet :)</div>

We were unable to determine what happened today. At first we thought stroke but that doesn't seem to be the case. Maybe a TIA, maybe atrial fib. Just don't know and probably never will. It was a scary thing to watch and I'm so happy to see him feeling so much better tonight. <br />

And here are a few snow photos just for fun.<br />

I have known Brian now for many years and was thrilled to find out he would be visiting daddy and Aunt Phyllis. Since they haven't been able to get to church for a long time now, this is a service very much appreciated! Brian quoted and read some scripture to daddy. He sat with his eyes closed most of the time but was listening. When it came time to sing however, he opened his eyes and sang right along with about three different hymns. He carried the tune well and knew the words. He thanked Brian for coming by when it was time for him to go. Thank you Gentle Shepherd and Brian for offering this for daddy.<br />

I am going to try to post two different short videos of daddy from today. The first is from lunch time. I just want to show it so you can see how difficult it has become for him to communicate lately. And then the second video is of him singing. How wonderful that even when he can't find his own words he remembers hymns and scripture! Please disregard my annoying voice.</div>

Daddy had a really rough day yesterday. He was very confused and seemed to have an upset stomach as well. We are still trying to determine if it was caused by a new med. Hopefully today he will be back to his normal. Steve and I went over to help get him ready for bed. Phyllis was ready for bed before he went. I only had my iPhone, but snapped this precious photo of them saying goodnight. Melts my heart!</div>
