Puppies ~ aka, The Cuteness is Overwhelming

 New fun fact I have been made fully aware of : Puppies are a LOT of work.
 

 

But holy moly are they adorable.
 

 

Since it is elk season, we girls have been on our own {such is the life of a hunter's wife!}.
Which means the puppies {and all of the other animals, consequently}
have been solely our responsibility. 
Well, actually, Sierra's and my responsibility. 
{That Sierra, have I mentioned what a tremendous help she is??}
And my, the puppies are fast!
They get into all sorts of mischief if you look away for even 1 second.
 

 

We're going to miss them terribly when they go to their new homes.
But I think we'll manage ;)
 

 

 

Miss A!

We're watching Miss America tonight
{In crowns and sashes, no less!}
 

 

How about y'all?
Who are *you* rootin' for?

Beach Trip

We got to spend a little time at the beach last month, and it was just the getaway we needed.

Jeremy gets away to go hunting.
The girls and I get away for outings fairly frequently.
But we rarely get out all six together.
Those moments are treasured, indeed.

I could spend every weekend at the beach, I think.
I just love it.

I love the walk to the sand . . .
Watching the girls' anticipation.
 

I don't much love rolling around in the sand, the way the girls do.
But, to each his own, I say!

 

 

Little Miss Mermaid.
 

 

 

And I LOVE, love, love, evening strolls along the boardwalk.

 

Yep, I think it's my favorite place to be.
