Little One Month Old

Here again is my friend's baby girl. She came over yesterday and actually fell asleep for a bit. Here is a little preview...

Blog Hop-Favorite Photo

How can I choose just one?? I love so many photos. So, here are a few of my favorites. The first is of Kambry, my middle girl being silly with an umbrella in the backyard on a sunny day. This photo just screams her name!! The second is yet one more amazing day of my life. My third, and youngest baby was born this day, August 22, 2008. The big sisters were so excited to meet her. The last photo is of my darling McKenna. Some of you have already seen this photo but it's one of my true favorites right now.

How we celebrated

The fourth of July is such a fun holiday. It falls smack dab in the middle of the summer, making it usually a hot sunny day and equally hot evening. Here's how our weekend went:

On Friday I got up early to do some grocery shopping for the weekend, then we laid down a small patio area for our trash cans before lunch and after that went to the pool in the afternoon. All the girls had such a great time. I am thinking I will be making more appearances at the pool with the weather as hot as it is. Too bad it's not within walking distance. Can you tell that the day wore Kambry out? This is yet another episode of falling asleep at the table. She eats really slow so I am usually waiting on her to get done. When I went to check on her, this is how I found her...Saturday started with tidying up the house and relaxing around lunch time. We made some homemade ice cream in the afternoon and some friends came over in the early evening to hang out, grill, eat (of course), and do small fireworks with the girls. My friend made a cake with blueberries and strawberries and it was wonderful!!! I know I will pay for that later with some extra working out. All in all, it was a beautiful day. We did have the threat of rain as I heard thunder in the distance but we were lucky and it passed by and we stayed dry. Here are a few pictures of the day.

MckLinky First Ever Blog Hop!!

I hate to admit it, but I am addicted to blogging. I started this blog when my youngest daughter was born as a way to journal our lives. Now I have found it a place to meet others, grow and learn in my love of photography, and get advice from parents out there experiencing the same things I do. My blog title, Another Day in Paradise, is my life. Each day is the best day of the rest of my life. I have three beautiful daughters and a wonderful husband. Please follow me through this journey of life, love, and mishaps!!

Show Us Where you Live Friday

This week the featured room at Kelly's Korner is actually the outdoors. I don't think I am brave enough to show my messy garage but I do think I can show my landscaping. We did this project in May and we are very happy with how it turned out. Some of you have already seen this so it's nothing new, but for the others...enjoy my outdoors.

The backyard is fenced in and all we have is one tree which we planted when we did the front landscaping and a swingset that we put up a couple of weeks after moving in. The girls really like to run around and play on it.
