Meerkats Love the Camera

Ok, so I couldn't resist taking a pick of this little gang of meerkats. The one sunning his belly was especially funny to watch. They were just so relaxed and acting cool in the sun! and then...







I'm pretty sure the one standing tall turned and grinned at the camera for me!

Studying the Lions

Sweet Memories

Something for which we are so thankful are grandparents on both sides of the family who love Maddie and Jack so much! Both Grandpas & Grandmas Heath & Snyder are a wonderful blessing to us, and we treasure their influence and love in our lives!

Carousel Joy!

As a parent, I treasure these pictures that show the pure joy a child can have. What a great memory with Papa! We are so thankful to see Madeline growing in her joyfulness!!

The Wedding

What a great day for a wedding! It was such a joy to see Russ and Mary commit their lives together in marriage. And Madeline made wonderful memories as their flower girl. She took her job very seriously and actually stood still on the stage for a large part of the ceremony! It was encouraging to see how her strong will can be used for good! (Kurt also did a fine job as a groomsman)
