I recently subscribed to the I Heart Faces group and their "Framed Faces: event is currently going. I love the 2 "framed" face photos below. Rhianna getting her face painted and Ashlyn and Rhianna working at Facebook on their laptop.
Decisions, decisions... it's a hard choice to decide which photo to submit to the framed faces event but I believe there is a limit of one photo per person.
Rhianna, your sweet face is one in a million! Your face is framed by the hands of the artist painting your face and the framing adds to your expression of wonder and enjoyment!
Ashlyn & Rhianna, I adore your expression as you work away on the laptop in this photo. The light frames your faces and makes the enjoyment all more apparent.

Long time - no posts -
Since I posted the back to school event with Reise and Sophie in August here are some events since then:
Fall came and went with Halloween, Thanksgiving, and a trip to Atlanta to spend Thanksgiving with Ivan's Grandmother, Aunt Mary, and parents.
Christmas was Merry and then on New Years Eve grandson Lance Kohl married Caitlin!
. Lots of beautiful snow and photo ops!
What a beautiful wedding! Welcome to the family Caitlin!
Chris celebrated his 46th birthday and went snowshoeing in the Never Summer Mountains with Renee

Is it really August already?
Today was the first day of school for Chris and Lori's kiddos. Grandmothers also on deck for the big day! Sophie goes to first grade and Reise started kindergarten this morning at Southeast Elementary. Hard to believe that my children all went to this same school; Dana, 45 years ago, Chris 40 years ago, and Michelle 35 years ago and I taught kindergarten here for 2 years before going to Henderson Elementary. Where does the time go?

Summertime!
I love summertime. Maybe because I spent my early years in Telluride, Colorado. Telluride is high in the Rocky Mountains and the town sits in a box canyon. Winters are long and cold. My mother used to say that in January and February the sun only appeared at high noon. I have a vivid memory of one winter morning literally crawling up the icy sidewalk and steps to get into the school house in a blinding snowstorm. One day my Mom loaded my baby brother into a box on our sled and told me to follow behind while she pulled the sled the few blocks from our house to my grandparent's house. My brother fell off into the snow and I stood crying for Mom to come back and pick him up. Of course she did but I really do not enjoy freezing winter weather.
Summertime in Telluride, however, was amazing! I remember going to Sunshine Park for summer evening picnics and picking primroses which grew wild on the hillside. The 4th of July was a huge celebration in Telluride. During the day there were games, a firemen's water fight with fire hoses, catch the greased pig, climb the greased pole, hard rock drilling contests and a penny grab for the kids. A huge BBQ was held at the town park in the afternoon and fireworks were amazing in the box canyon.
There is just a "feeling" to summertime days and this Tuesday was a wonderful summertime day. My granddaughter, Ashlyn, who is "sweet-sixteen" came to spend the day with me and my younger grandchildren, Sophie - age 6, and Reise, age 4. We had a wonderful summertime day playing in the park, running through the sprinklers, swinging, sliding, teeter-tottering, and swimming.
Here comes Summertime! The Summertime I love!

Hooray - I have received the service photos of my 2 nephews, Joel and Jeff, from their Dad, my brother, Lin, in Texas. Their photos are below. Joel served in the Army and Jeff is currently serving in the Air Force.
I am so proud of these handsome young men and this rounds out our family military men!
I am still waiting for that visit from my grandson, Lance! Hope to see him while he is in Greeley on leave from the Navy.
I am touched by the "Ode" to our military men and women found at this URL:

God bless our military!
