tinycandi - I love this post! What an awesome way to capture the special little “everyday” moments that we take for granted too often. And you’re a wonderful photographer. Awesome post! I’ve enoyed reading about your California vacation, too. I haven’t been since I was 12 years old…but one day I hope to be able to take my daughters. 🙂
Ashley - Meg, Your kids have such kind faces. I love to see what you all are doing daily and of course what Annie is wearing always makes me smile.
If being addicted to whatever blog is wrong is wrong then I don’t wanna be right- LOL
Amy - I love all the pics. I love Cali!! I am going with my baby on an IN-venture next month. When are you opening your Etsy shop!!!

Traci - meg, i honestly love all your photos, but i think your everyday shots are my favorite!!
Kelly - I was internet-less for a few days so I had fun catching up. It looks like you guys have had a great realaxing start to summer.
I also wanted to tell you that I love your happy things list on your sidebar. They do indeed make me happy. And then make me feel like I need to buy things.
Staci - Just “hangin’ out is always good to me 🙂 My most favorite days of Summer actually!!!! I can admit it…yep, I’m an addict 🙂 Does that make you my dealer?? hee hee! A very good dealer I must say!!!!
Penny - Seeing the pictures makes me think of when our girls were little. What fun, forts! My girls are college (2) and High school (1) age now. Miss those days! Love the picture of Waffle. We all love that dog. We also have a litter of 9 goldendoodle pups. We hope they will all be as wonderful as Waffle. Check them out. http://www.adamscreekgoldendoodles.com

Katy Durec - I love your pictures, they are the perfect remedy for a boring, rainy Monday here in KY.
I recently cut my daughter some bangs and my sister (who led me to your blog) told me that with her bangs she resembles Annie. I take this as a great compliment! 🙂
Lazy Mom Leslie - I have said this before and thought it 800 more times than that! Will you please come and be my neighbor so I can feed you margaritas to document my life? With or without salt? Thank you.
Becky @ Farmgirl Paints - Looks like wonderful summer fun. I love your dog. He is just the cutest!
Morgan - wow scotts hair is darker
C Rose - Ok, so I’m new to the blog stuff and have NO idea how I found yours. I love it though… I love your pictures! Really they are great!!! I am a mom of two and my husband and I are full time in the ministry… I always try to have everything perfect in the house, and my kids neatly dressed with matching everything from shoes to bows:) Now, looking at your pictures it refreshing to see that you can have everything together just, not perfect…
That sounds not so much like a compliment but, it totally is!!!! I love the way your kids dress and mostly I love seeing the love you have for life and FAMILY!!!!! It seems to be hard to come by these days…
Sandy - “blog addicts” – got a kick out of that! You know us as well as we know you. 🙂

Georgia - Love the blog!!! it gets better and better! lol xxx
joy c. tilton - Ahh to be a kid again…summer, that delicious season where life is good. No school, no homework and the opportunity to have an ice cream cone unexpectedly!
Sara - Okay, I am the blog addict! ha! love your blog…love the pictures. Reminds me to chill out and not worry so much about getting stuff accomplished!
Mrs. - HEY! I RESEMBLE THAT LAST STATEMENT!
Michele renee - I found you from the Clover Lane site and enjoyed looking at your trip to Cali. My hubs and I went to Monterey and Carmel and Big Sur on honeymoon a long, long time ago, and I lived in Santa Monica from age 4 till 20. We are in Atlanta and finished road trip from here to St. Louis, thru Kansas (stayed in Manhattan and I hear there is a ball of twine above I-70 on I-24 about 2 hours west of there). And yes, the ball of twine from Vacation movie–which we quoted a million times. Then to Colorado to Estes park for the Rocky Mountain Park and then to SD for Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse and Badlands and then drove thru Iowa and St. Louis again (loved it) and home again. Mine have never been to Cali and that is next year! Love your photos and the one with the squirrel’s arms up? A riot!!
Jess - Great fort. The best part of summer is the “just hanggin’ out” part!
I am defiantly addicted to your blog!
Kathy - Fun, fun in the sun!! Great pictures you make playing Uno look good and colorful. Have a great week!
kaitlynsage - I love love love love your desk! Where did it come from? How does it look so great and old and modern all at the same time?
Molly Pearce - I wanna come play!!! Your summer looks like so much fun!!! Forts, side walk chalk and bubbles reminds me of my childhood!!!!
~Molly P
Jenn N - Hey, do I see “forts” with blankets over the furniture? My kids love doing this and I loved it as child too.
Anna Marie - I really want more kids and I really want to be able to stay home with them. I know it is probably hard and stressful at times but I would love to have what you have. You are so blessed. Not that I am not…it could still happen for me. Only one kiddo so far and living in a rental…I “dream” when I visit your blog. Thank you!
Lori - I love seeing your pictures 🙂 And, just hanging out sounds just perfect. Hope you’re enjoying it!
