Working on the Driveway

 

 

We’ve been talking about getting rid of our front yard and replacing it with a parking area for quite some time because we never, ever used the yard since we were always in the back. It was painful to watch elderly people getting out of their cars on our slanted, horrible driveway. Unloading and loading our own car was annoying and really inconvenient. After many, many conversations about it, my dad and Izak came down and worked for a few weeks getting it done and improving our driveway and parking area into a convenient and beautiful parking area. I have a big, fat driveway post coming up, but thought I’d share these few of the girls ‘working’ on one of the evenings. It was the highlight of their summer, having Grampy and Uncle Izak here to ‘help’.

Rhone

rhone grandparents

We went to visit Barry’s grandparents/parents today in order to keep up with the tradition of a Labor Day BBQ with his side of the family. We were able to snap some family pictures outside of his grandparent’s house, and many of them are nice images, but I love this one of his grandparents. It just captures them and how they look to me. They live on property adjacent to where Barry grew up and there are so many beautiful pockets on their land. It’s truly a photographer’s dream. There’s this old work bench in the garage that looks like it has lived a good life and I sometimes want to take it home and listen to see if it’ll tell me stories. 

And our blog is acting strange lately, I’ve spoken to my ‘webmaster’ about it….we’ll see if he can work his magic.

How They Feel About It

sisters

Maggie starts ballet soon and the other day we rifled through our bins of clothes to find some appropriate fitting leotards and tights. After seeing Maggie trying things on, Audrey insisted on squeezing into a tutu as well. One way or another, we ended up outside for a bit and I snapped this quick picture. It wasn’t planned or staged, and maybe the one right after it is of Audrey running away in a blur, but I think this captures their relationship right now quite sweetly. And how cute are Audrey’s legs and little tush?
