one of my very favorite friends and i jumped in her car bright and early today and headed to warrenton for an antique/junk show.  i had never been and enjoyed every second of it.  we took a little country road to get there and had to go under this little bridge, which went from 2 lanes down to 1 on a curve and a hill.  it was quite scarey, but my friend handled it well.  she knew it was coming. 

i thought it was beautiful though and probably filled with history.

today i am so very thankful for friends.  i have struggled a little with this miscarriage, but mostly because i haven't taken any time off.  i haven't stopped.  i've kept going.  and some special friends came to see me today, which allowed me time to sit and just chat with them.  i'm so very thankful that they took time out of their busy day to come hug my neck.  it was way more than i needed.

one surprised me with a coke icee and chocolate.  which was absolutely amazing.  another friend brought me these flowers ...

i am so very blessed with such sweet friends.

mykah has now discovered, but not yet mastered, the art of climbing trees.  it's all fine and dandy until she can't figure out how to get down, which happens 9 out of 10 times she climbs.

now, i'm no longhorn fan.  at all.  but i saw this spot in the clouds the other day and couldn't help but take a picture of it.

typically my children look like orphans.  sad.  but true.  they do not like getting their hair fixed and i suck at fixing it, so i usually allow them to look like orphans.  we stay home, so why not.  it's a battle i'm usually not willing to fight.  until now.  i'm a little over my orphan children.  i want them to look like they have a mommy and a home.  and they have both.  so why not make them look like it.  today i saw this hair style online and thought i'd try it.  i'm thinking, no matter how hard i try, my parts will never be straight.  but it's cute.  and they look like little girls.
