“The more you praise and celebrate life, the more there is to celebrate.” – Oprah Winfrey
I was so taken by the moon and my sunrise photos this week that I could have done a post of just all the early morning pictures I took. But I’m keeping it to just my favorite – the featured photo that silhouetted the rowers on the lake.


Easter — and Cooper thinks no one can tell he’s got an egg in his mouth.


Backyard fun — but it’s still cold enough to have to warm up our feet.


The apple of my eye — and the cat who thinks we’re all nuts!


A mountain worth stopping for — and Miss O who’s figured out how to be a super fan for her brother’s baseball team and also be comfortable!


Sign of the week!
Gosh, the tent. So love it as well as the view. Cool D with the apple on his eyes. Amazing photos, Wynne

Your sunrise photo is fabulous! I love the apple of your eye and the tent. Your kids are always entertaining. And you know how much I love Cooper, clever boy hiding the egg he found. Have a super weekend. xo

What a lead pic- that orange looks great! Cooper had me fooled- I couldn’t tell about the egg. I like Miss O’s “luxury box” seating- very fun and comfy😎 Great pics!

I think the moon has been top of mind for all of us this week, Wynne! And Mr. D should start a spa. I’ve seen cucumber slices on eyes, but never apple slices. He may be on to something.

So funny that I was reading a random Oprah story on Facebook and then came and saw her quote. So much to celebrate indeed.
Love the warmth in your week, from the weather to your backyard fire pit to the inner and outer smiles on your children’s faces. 🥰 Have to laugh at your cat’s perpetual judgy face (my cat is the same). And I have lots to learn from Mr D’s skin care routine!

miss o has worked out a win-win plan for cheering on the games, nd I love her double apple of my eye approach to life. Cooper is doing what I used to do when I was sneaking chocolate out of our candy jar at home. baseball is back, a sure sign of spring, and with it, the beautiful sunrises, what a delightful week –

Oh, they’re all great photos, Wynne! I love Cooper with the egg in is mouth, trying to be inconspicuous. The sunrise, the mountain, family, the cat who thinks he’s the smartest, batting in action, and the apple of your eye. And the sign that brought a chuckle. So much to love in this post.

Cooper thought the idea of a family pic was eggcellent. He wanted to know why he wasn’t included. Ha. ha.
