Emmett's first day of Preschool

This little boy likes to dress himself. It often involves boots whether they match or not. And I usually have to ask him to take off his costume before he goes to school. He complies. All the boys did that with the costumes and I love that stage. It's hard being a little kid in a house full of big boys though. The boys tend to tease him about it and I have to try and protect him and his youth as much as possible. What a darling little boy.

St. Johns for the 4th

When Doug started working in St. John's he lived with his grandmother at first her name is Ruth Patterson. She is a lovely woman. We went and stayed at her house with her. The kids slept outside in tents and we had a wonderful time during Fourth of July in St. John's. They know how to do it right. They had a wonderful presentation and a movie and fireworks. It was really fun to have that small town feel. In the morning we got to go to a citywide breakfast and it was really fun. We saw some friends from the valley as well. Herrings. They have lots of family up there as well. I love these pictures because the cousins are all together and they're so young and libations. It is a wonderful sight to see and I got to take some pictures of the kids with absolutely beautiful light.
