2008.05.25

Sunday is a day set aside for worshiping the Lord and resting. In fact, it is a day that I have left open to take a break from my current challenge. Today however, pictures were a part of that plan and believe me when I say I am feeling very restful as I type out this post. :)

After our church service this morning Dad offered an open invitation to anyone who wanted to come over for a lunch of leftovers from yesterday's party. This was not a pre-planned event! I was so pleased that many came and we were able to share a delightful and easy meal together. Our front porch is beyond awesome...especially when it comes to meals and people.

A meal thrown together by our family who is learning how to better work together.


Some of our creative decor.

After everyone left we did a quick clean up and took naps! It was so nice because we all were so tired.
*Just a side note to the many whom I know are actually reading my blog: In our family the girls wear long skirts the vast majority of the time. We wear them because we believe in biblical femininity and modesty. We do however occasionally wear pants. Mostly for working or just around the house. Today when I changed out of my beautiful church clothes I did put on my one pair of jeans for my afternoon of napping and reading.

Me playing around with self portraits and trying to get my feet in the frame.

Taking pictures of what I love without worrying about the results is so relaxing.
How cool is it that I just sat on the porch rail to get that image?

Learning more about manual modes....I love the focus and light in that picture!

Guess what camera brand I have...

Josh posing for me before heading to the all you can eat chicken down the road...the two boys go just about every Sunday evening. I go mostly when someone offers to pay for me :D

Holding the camera to my face to try to capture what my eye sees. Didn't work quite like I wanted. Like I said we have like the coolest porch...it was so nice to finish my book out there on the swing.

~blogger who finally got the pictures in the order she wanted the first time

Happy Sunday everyone!
