Day 7, 8 & 9

Day 7 || Fruit
Yummy pineapple fanta! Now yes we do eat fruit, but of course the one time I needed a picture of it was the one time we didn't have it in the house :(

Day 8 || A Bad Habit
I have a bad habit of getting angry fast and not stopping and listening.

Be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to grow angry.

Day 9 || Someone You Love
I love EVERYONE in my family very dearly! So taking a picture of someone (not someones you love) was a hard task. But I ADORE this picture of Annie! She is going through this phase where she loves 'The Little House on the Prairie' books <3

Day 5 || From a High Angle

Kingy came to our home today running a high fever, so we laid him down, put a cold rag on his head, and turned on Baby Einstein (his favorite movie).

Day 4 || Something Green

I love Garrett's beautiful green eyes <3
