In the last few weeks we have taken a couple of Sunday morning trips to the White River and the nearby covered bridge. It's one of our favorite places. Sweet Hubby and I took a canoe trip on it a year and a half ago for our anniversary. It's usually very peaceful. Until we show up. On the last trip we enjoyed a picnic by the river and much silliness as documented in these photos. These pictures are very representative of how we are as a family. Anybody that knows Sweet Hubby will recognize that he is totally himself in these photos. And can I just tell you that this man fills my heart with love and laughter? He makes my heart
sing!

ReplyDeleteThat looks like so much fun. I have been dying to go tubing this summer but sadly have not done it yet.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely family you have!
ReplyDeleteLindy :)
You are a beautiful family, Jen!
ReplyDeleteIf this is the White River in Arkansas, I have a happy memory of spending a few weeks there as a teenager. I was the guest of a friend and her family who rented a cabin there. There was a screened porch where we slept. We got out on the river in an old John boat and lost the oars and had other adventures! What fun we had and a great memory. Your mentioning White River made me remember! Thank you!

Gorgeous family photos Jen. I love the pic of Emma & her reflection in the water. While I was away I was nominated for a Nice Matters Award & am to pass it on to 7 more. Of course, when I think of Nice blogs - yours comes to mind!

ReplyDeletethis will be the last year of school preparations for my family, except for college. Enjoy!
Ah...the smell of a new box of crayolas...just love that smell. It has hit me that this is the first year in 20+ years that I have no kids in school. They are grown and on their own which is a happy thing and a sad thing. Enjoy your family, Jen, they are precious.

ReplyDeleteI stumbled across your blog today and I'm really glad i did. The photos are beautiful. I've only read a little so far...my kids were in a panic though about your children going back to school. We have another 3 weeks of holidays over here. The kids thought i'd cancelled them!
ReplyDeleteAdorable, what a loving fun family! I am an elementary principal and can HEAR you about getting ready for school!
ReplyDeleteHeavens yes, Festus is a house hold word here. In fact, Bob is going there this afternoon to meet with a friend. Small world. Can I add your blog to my list?
ReplyDeleteWhat a joyful looking family you are! We have two days until school starts, but we're ready. Although my daughter keeps asking why I've got to talk about it (she's not look forward to getting up at 6:30 am)LOL!

ReplyDeleteJen, the pictures of you and your family are so great!! I love seeing you have so much fun. Your husband is so cute, especially as he tries to nibble your ear. Your girls are beautiful, and you look like you could be their slightly older sister - home from college for the summer :o) I hope your last week before school starts is wonderful and relaxing.
