Happiness comes in various forms, here is one form, in the form of a lovely breakfast:

Yes I know I'm bad... Ghirardelli brownies for breakfast with whipped cream. mmmm

But to make up for it I had this for dinner. :)

May 4th

Can you guess what I did today? 

I voted for the first time. 

Thousands and Thousands of men have died so I could vote. 

Thank you

Charlotte's Birthday

Last week Charlotte turned nine! The baby of the family is growing up. To commemorate it I did a photo shoot in a new dress she received from Emily for her birthday. And it gave me a chance to practice using my new flash in the shade, I really like my new flash, you can't really tell I used one for all these pictures. 

I couldn't decide which ones I like better out of the above and the next three so I posted them all. 

Her new headband and sunglasses

And off she goes!

Birthday Pie

Nana brought two dresses with her, this one was the dress her mother wore to her (Nana's) wedding. 

And this one Nana wore when she was 17
