i’ll give you one guess.
just some summer photos to share. talby, scott and annie ate half a watermelon today. who is the cutest girl on the t-ball team? it was so good. oh yes…very good. uh, sure… because I want to buy you more shoes. that’s it! 🙂 (I think I’ll email my size to you. Some things just don’t need to be public knowledge!) because you want to buy me more shoes or because you want to borrow them?!! before i answer…what size do you wear 🙂 Way too cute! What size do you wear again?! 🙂
there is nothing more refreshing than to wake up to a upstairs bathroom floor covered in water and your dining room below…table included…also covered in toilet water. ahhhhh….so lovely. and with company here too. it just doesn’t get better than that right? the good stuff. we shut off the water and headed out to party! my sister and i took the kids to the zoo summer concert. craig met us after work and my mom did too. chubby carrier and the bayou swamp band plays louisana zydeco music that is just too much fun. he calls himself the father of fun! it was a blast. we took blankets and snacks. talby shouted “i like this music! i LIKE dancing!” and she danced almost all night. it was hot and everyone was all sweaty but we didn’t care. what’s not to like? it feels too good. lauren took the pictures of us dancing! so technically she stepped on the dance floor but there was no dancing on her part. It’s all about the angles of photography! there are plenty of things in my house that are not so nice…but with the right cropping..they disappear! Been to your blog MANY times but for some reason I just noticed that you had TONS of pictures of you GORGEOUS home!! It is so nice that you know what to do with that gorgeous masterpiece of a home! I know a couple people who have homes similar to yours and have NO IDEA what to do with them. I also painted my master bedroom choc. brown but was struggling with a really great accent color… You have inspired me to just add WHITE. I love that look and I already have lots of white furniture since I have a pretty shabby chic decor in most the house. Love all your white furniture, your red dish collection (HOW FUN IS THAT?) …actually there was nothing in your house I didnt like….I even think you could make the blue wallpaper in the playroom work… lol…. Thanks for sharing!!!! Looks like SO much FUN!! In the end it isnt even about the dancing but just “family time”…you create that OFTEN and that is SO cool! So sorry to hear about the plumbing issue :(…but HEY, at least it was clean water!!!! it’s official…i miss him. my mom was here for a short overnight visit. in the spirit of keepin’ it real i thought i’d share a picture of what happens when i cook. my mom distracted my kids today with washing the truck while i got started on this! i got the ground pretty level and we laid out the liner. my mom went to her friend’s house and i put annie down for a nap. talby, sean and i sat outside and put the entire pool together our selves. they were big helpers…honest. they got the pegs ready and handed them to me. they put the feet on the legs…ran the pipe through the top…helped me build the ladder…they cleaned up the trash. then my sister arrived with my 2 nieces for the rest of the weekend. Hey, I found your blog through the creative blogs blog. I have been frequenting it. Usually I am nursing my baby when I catch up on blogs so it is kinda hard to leave a comment…anyways, love your house and your craft room. you go, girl. love the picture with Scott. was that taken at church?
it’s amazing what a good night’s sleep will do. today is a better day. i am feeing very in love with mr. duerksen today. speaking of green…he painted the walls in the foyer! they are a lovely green…pea soup-ish. love it. and he is an awesome painter. perfect. he won’t even let me help anymore…i’m not heplful. my sister and my 2 nieces are coming tomorrow. and my mom sometime this week. THANK YOU for sending me your blog address again!!! Love the fact you let your kids play with playdo…that may sound strange but I have been a preschool teacher for years and there are MANY parents who dont want playdo or paint in their homes (too messy I guess). Glad your not one of them 🙂 Loving your blog, it makes me want to be a better mother. I need all of that I can get during the summer! Can’t wait to make the blueberry buckle. YUM! i can’t imagine you yelling…i can imagine you giving your kids a table full of playdoh and candles…summer is the hardest time of year for me…tension runs too high…grrrrrrrr. every wife needs a jack campbell. i love him. (jack, not craig.) at our house…holidays are downplayed. i will get the frame made soon. for father’s day we had 2 kids gone all day. OMGOSH…what fabulous pictures!!!! Your a talented photograher! love the one of Lauren and Annie! very sweet! Your children are just delicious Meg! Great photography. beautiful!!! i want to try a feet shot of my kids…i love it. my girls play babies all the time but this week talby was being so cute. in the yucky dining room we have misc. furniture serving no purpose at the moment. i came in and saw this! the empty armoire is now a triple bunk bed for babies (and bears) That was soooooo me as a little girl!! I also played for hours interdependently with my baby dolls. I would pretend to drive around with my babies too. No wonder I now work as an infant teacher at a preschool. I still love the babies! <3 by the way, if you ever can’t find a purpose for that armoir, i think i could….hee hee hee. : )

traci - Im cracking up at talby in her skirt playing t-ball!!! How adorable. Just curious….I have never heard the name “talby” before….how did you come to name her that? I love reasons and history behind why people choose names.
