My heart is happy.
Yesterday Erik and I decided to be domestic and baked. We made those mini cheesecake things – the ones with the vanilla wafers on the bottom. Delicious if I may say so… Erik likes to help me bake though. He isn’t so interested in eating them, but interested in helping (who does that?). And since I told him they were cakes, he wanted to make sure we put candles in them.
After our cheesecakes were done Erik decided it was time to read the newspaper. He chose the comics, of course.
Today was another beautiful day in CNY. Literally, beautiful. I ended up being stuck in the house reading, the Bible (I have another post on that – don’t worry). After lunch I was finally able to venture outside and gave up on reading.
Erik has decided he likes to water plants as of late. Just the last few days of course. He gets on these random kicks, where he becomes obsessed with something and it’s all he wants to do. All day long. Right now it’s the watering. Couple days ago it was Drake. I wonder what tomorrow will be.
I had an awesome night with my boys (all of them). We went to Highland Forest tonight for a small walk. Erik ended up not napping so our walk wasn’t so long. He was ready to be carried about 20 feet from the car. It was still nice though to get the dogs out. After we did our exercise, in true American fashion, we went and got ice cream. It was quite delicious, though.
When we got home we went and sat down by the lake. I was still eating my ice cream because apparently I’m slow…so we just sat for a little while. The whole time we were sitting we were attempting to get the dogs to NOT go in the lake. Obliviously fruitless attempt for the Finton dogs, but hey, we can still try.
As anyone who has read my blog has realized that I like the “just getting dark” pictures, I was lucky enough to have a beautiful night outside with the boys…so of course I took a ton of pictures. And tonight I got to take some shadow/silhouette pictures, which are my favorite. And well, probably one of the hardest to do. Brandon tried to get some of me, but, well, he then discovered how difficult it was when you were really trying to do it. : ) He tried, and I really appreciate it. He’s still an amazing photographer.
Without further ado…(even though you probably already looked down…)
Now these next pictures are probably some of the hardest to take. They appear to be the hardest to post, as well.
The love I have for these boys fills up my heart. I’m so glad I am able to take pictures like this of them.
I do have to admit that living on a lake has its advantages, and being able to take pictures like this is one of them.
But here, is my absolute favorite from tonight. My boy. This one is definitely going to be printed. So handsome.
I don’t know what I ever did to deserve a family this beautiful and wonderful, but I sure hope I keep doing it.
