Home

I'm finally home after a month in the beautiful state of Michigan where my husband grew up. Yep, right there on that beautiful lake. Sigh. I love Michigan...in the summer. My sissy Southern self can't handle Michigan winters for any extended period.

It was wonderful being away from home for so long. I was able to disconnect from the familiar and immerse myself in family and beauty and projects in someone else's home.

I had lots of fun behind the lens as this was my first Michigan July with my gift camera.

Here are some of my favorites...

Campfire stories with Papa:

Play-doh Yoda:

Play-doh Obi-Wan:

Cupcake & his cars:

Blondie loves hunting for baby turtles in the lake:

Brownie & his favorite past-times, preparing for a career in civil engineering (hope that sand cities actually exist somewhere) and drinking a caffeinated soda, a rare treat:

An excursion to Lake Huron:

Silhouettes at dusk, before family fireworks:

We are pyromaniacs. Our family's personal fireworks display rivals that of a small country.

{Favorite black & whites}

Cousins...

The Man with his brother & sis:

My favorite 4 people in the whole world:

Love my baby's curls:

Family:

I hope you all had a fun and festive 4th. I look forward to jumping back into blogosphere and reconnecting.

{For all you shutterbugs out there, a couple of questions. What is an affordable basic zoom lens for a Canon? I have a digital Canon Rebel XTI. Also, what is your favorite post-processing program? I currently just use iPhoto which came on my Mac.}

Stay tuned for next Monday when I join in the Nester's "Price My Space" party. Hope you can come party with us!
