  3. Loved the list and the pictures! The flowers are beautiful. We loved VBS too! My boys were bummed when it was over. :) Have a great week.

  4. Love this. And the pizza dough recipe too! It may just inspire me to finally try making my own (we love the ciabatta crusts from tj's - but this would be so much cheaper).

  7. Your pictures are stunning! Love your list of gifts as well. Didn't know they have earthquakes in D.C.?

    Flowers always bless me. Love the summer thunderstorms, known as monsoons, here in Arizona. Spectacular light show. We're a little dry this year, though.

    Blessings,
    Janis

  8. Yes, nothing like a little earthquake to shake things up a bit, huh?? It surely was exciting, but between you and me, I'd just assume we never revisit that one in my lifetime :)

    Hope you have a glorious week ahead... and keep that little man cooking! Is he, by chance, for hire??!
