This is my first assignment for Hallie's Through the Lens - Digital Photography 101 group.
I just can't decide which one I like best... so I'll just enter both. :-)

All week long (and then some!), Heart of the Matter is having a special Focus on Fathers. From today's post:
Welcome to the Heart of the Matter Online meme: Father's Day Edition. By the way, what exactly is a "meme"? Anyone care to explain this concept and its origin to us men?
Anyway, today's theme is similar to the uber-popular Wordless Wednesday. We want to see your favorite picture of your husband and your kids, or your husband and yourself, or just your husband alone.
So here is my entry:
This picture always makes me smile! :-) It was taken in 2005 when Dozer wasn't even big enough to walk yet. My sister Lele got the boys these hilariously FUN t-shirts in New York City. David and I laughed at the boys all day long! The drawn in tie, sunglasses, cheesy pockets... man, it totally looked like the real thing! So far, they all still say they want to be a pilot like daddy. That's good and bad. The bad part is the very scary learning to fly stage... I am positive that I will go completely white-haired and ulcered during that time! So I'm just not going to think about that right now... or ever.
Oh and if you haven't done so yet, check out all the great articles by different dads and fun giveaways they are having over at HOTM. You have until the 18th to enter all the giveaways-- so please spread the word and by all means, ENTER! Today's giveaway is a 1-year subscription to The Family Handyman magazine. Even if your man isn't quite so handy dandy, this is an awesome magazine that has tons of useful and very practical ideas for the everyday. We really *heart* that magazine at our house!
If I don't talk to y'all again, have a wonderfully happy Father's Day weekend! And for you single momma's out there, Happy Father's Day to you too! If you are pulling double duty, you deserve a big pat on the back, high five and a Mint Mocha Chip Frappuccino too!
Love,
Marshie

In Time of Silver Rain
In time of silver rain
the earth
puts forth new life again,
green grasses grow
and flowers lift their heads,
and over all the plain
the wonder spreads
of life, of life, of life!
-Langston Hughes
*All of these photos were taken at Great Grandma's house. :-)

When I was little, my parents had this framed picture hanging on the wall. My siblings and I would gather around it and whisper the implications of such a thing.
Mom and dad-- in JAIL!!! Horse thieves! I didn't know they could ride a horse! And they robbed both a bank and a train?! I wonder how they escaped.
So many questions, such big imaginations. It all had to be true too. After all, we did live in Colorado for a short while and mom and dad never denied this actually happening.
I am also rather certain that the $4,000 reward must have crossed all of our minds... whether we'd admit it publicly or not. That is a lot of moolah to a 6 year old kid.
I think it is also safe to say that none of us were very good at math back in the day. Either that or we thought it fit in perfectly with the fact that mom and dad seemed very old. Did you see the date of pardon down at the bottom? Yup, that says 1896!
Good times, people. Good times...
I am still so tempted to get a picture like that made of David and me. Hmmm... I wonder if we'd be worth more reward than just $4,000.

While we are a BOY house, we do have girls over to play... we don't discriminate when it comes to FUN!
And can you believe this is my third post today?! Trying to make up for disappearing earlier this week, I suppose.

Okay, we all know that I just cannot be truly wordless! As to this picture, *I* never could carry off the cheapy-party-favor-glasses look. Now cheapy-party-favor-rotten-buck-teeth look I can do... But this takes a certain amount of klass with a capital K! And he's got it!

We finally got our camera back and I was able to upload some pics to my flickr account. To spare y'all the time of uploading an enormous blog entry, you can view the pics from the badge on my sidebar or by clicking HERE.
There are pics of our Californeee trip, Tank's Kindergarten Graduation and a few of ze new fixer upper of a house.
This is one of my favorite ones from our trip. I don't remember exactly where it was taken, except that it is way north of Malibu off the Pacific Coast Highway.
