Every summer (typically in June) we visit the rose garden at Washington Park for a picnic and some flower frolicking. This year, we combined our visit with our friends, the Smoots, and the 4th of July; what better way to celebrate the official birth of America the Beautiful than amidst some of this country's most gorgeous scenery? For all of this country's faults (and there are many...and I think it's important to acknowledge them and continue addressing them), I am so grateful to live here with the freedom and pursuit of prosperity that our government affords.
Nearly six years ago, Took and I were just a couple of social workers with a common passion for children, fancy bags, and Jesus. Two husbands and six children later, our respective families are finally complete and we can take a group photo without knowing that it will no longer be accurate within a year :)
Maddie looks like Snoopy in this photo -- laughing with her head tipped back as far as it will go.
Sitting by the "Queen Jan" plaque -- an annual tradition.
