Frustrating!!!

I have been tryyyiing to put up more pictures of the past week or two- vacations, reunions, pool time, etc. but blogger won't let me upload any more.  I have tried a dozen times.  Any one have an suggestions??

Finished product

Mike decided to pull up a shrub that had spread for at least 4 x 10 ft. in our new backyard.  Little did he know how insanely stubborn the thing was; it took hours in the hot afternoon sun of pulling and digging and stabbing and grunting- but it finally came out!  This was the final product!  I was so proud of him.  

God bless the library

I LOVE the library!  I still keep all of my old library cards in my wallet.  This past year provides 3!  My favorite building it a toss up between libraries in LaSalle or Sunbury.  Sunbury had a such a setting with great windows, aaaaand it was across from my favorite (and only in that town) coffee shop.

Having a library card in my wallet gives me security.  Security that I know I can go somewhere safe, air conditioned, and Carys-friendly that will provide for me many different kinds of entertainment.  I love it.  It also is a place that personifies growth for me ( I just got a 'An Evening with Edgar Allan Poe' DVD of shorts)- you can really find information on whatever you feel like learning about.

Yep.  I like the library. 

just a good day

Today was a great day.  Nothing super extrordinary (except for getting to be with Carys), but everything just went 'right.'  Ya know?  Sometimes a day like that is so needed and so nice.  Everything went according to plan, it was nice weather, and I have to bruises to show for it.  Not always the case, especially now with a baby, but honestly- I don't think it could have been much nicer (aside from seeing all l the people I love and winning the lottery).  

I think it's good to be thankful for these kind of days...I know I sure am.

p.s. Oh..Carys is starting to laugh now and it seriously kills me.  It sounds like the beginning to a cough, or ever the start of a cry/whine, but then it turns into these bubbly giggles that just make me want to freeze time.  AND she turned onto her back from her stomach 3 times, in front of my family no less.  My little performer!
