Seriously??!??!?

What just happened? I complained in a post yesterday about the photo frustration (that's been going on for months, if not a year) and voila! Today I uploaded all of these faster than I have ever before! Maybe I need to start posting all of my "impossibles" in life and your blog prayers and power will intervene :)!!!!

So these are just a few from the beginning of the June archives.

Niece Jessica's beautiful wedding day in Grand Rapids.
Brother Bill and his daughter Jessica.

Brother Jim doing the ceremony (from his Blackberry!) and the Bride and Groom (Welcome to the family, Nick!)

Brother Trouble - Steve, Eric and Pete @ the reception.

Ryan with the ladies.... Ryan and cousin Kyle were a hit with the single gals as the night went on .

Check out these moves...

Got back from GR and Vacation Bible School started the next day. It was a fun week that Ryan so enjoys. And the decorations are so amazing. The gym and basement of church are totally transformed!
Ryan and a few buddies from the week.

Singing praises! I love the heart of this boy!

And finally for today... a few shots from swimming lessons at the YMCA. This summer he's finally taken off and can "swim" on his own comfortably. He may not have the strokes perfected, but he keeps himself afloat. His new favorite is jumping off the diving board at the local pool. Lake water with seaweed in sight is another story!

"Smile", Mom says... we obey so well !


Well, depending on Mr. Computer here, maybe you'll see some more summer happenings shortly! Hope the 2 of you still checking in enjoyed these!

Take 500

Numbers -yes. Photos - kind of. Words - not so much....

I can do some things, but writing deep thoughts is not one of them I do well or enjoy taking time to do. This blog is evidence. I started it just for a way to post some photos and then family/friends near or far could look at their own leisure. Thought it would be better than mass emails.

Well, the photo option is about to cause me to call it quits. Maybe some computer savvy person will read and send help. Anytime I try to upload a picture to the blog or an email or simply edit a picture, whatever program I am in will lock up. End of photo session.

All that said ~ I've seen some bloggers do "Wordless Wednesday" posts. Well, because of my lack of photo inspirations on the blog... we'll just change the title to Wordless Woods!

Hope you are all having a great summer and maybe some day I'll bombard you with lots of fun summer shots! I even got a new camera for my birthday and may have to get a new computer to do any thing with it :)!!!

just for kicks... let's try a photo today.....
This program is not responding!

No kidding!

Thank goodness for auto save on Blogger or you wouldn't have gotten this much! Happy Thursday!
