Family-It's about time!

 

These pictures are completely backwards. I guess it's been so long since I blogged I'm out of practice and I have a lot to catch up with so forgive me if my perspective is somewhat distant. Here we have Anderson cousins who love chacos. The girls all wear chacos, cousins and sisters. 

They weren't intensely excited to pick berries but I think happy to hang.

Elise really did want to pick but only the strawberries. She was quite afraid of the wasps in the raspberry bushes and wasn't venturing in.

Cute cousins.

We had some really bad attitude going on which necessitated some work. Work is the antidote for a bad character I have been taught. In this case, it was really successful in diverting selfishness. Molly was in desperate need of a cleaning anyway.

Those raspberries were a dream in this basque style cheesecake I haven't stopped dreaming of.

Learning Ukulele must've been exciting-at least for Beckett. I think Elise was just waiting for him to want to play.

We did a bit of hiking with the Fry's, even Uncle Garrett came. We insisted on everyone coming which enraged Alena who stone-walled everyone the entire day because of it. Parenting can be incredibly painful. Doing the right thing can be difficult and doing the right thing as a parent, or rather hoping and praying that you're doing the right thing, is difficult x's 1000000000~ but I have to try.

Elise sure loves Beckett. She wants to do all the things with him.

I was feeling especially thankful for Sennias and Ethnes. 

I love these two good souls with all my heart.

It's always good to get out and be in nature. Makes most people very happy.

Elise and I diverted and hiked down the waterfall. We got a little wet but it was fun. She wanted to be in the water the entire hike.

Sisters.

Starting the hike. She's pretty amazing. I don't know how she does all that she does.
