Instagram

So, after much nudging by my friend Randi, I finally got on Instagram.  I totally love it.  It’s like a mini blog/facebook thing, where you post a picture with a short caption and people can see it whenever they log on.  Grandparents/Aunt Bekah would love it.  I like it because it’s a smaller audience, which makes it easier for me to post random, seemingly boring kid pictures and I LOVE it, because I feel like I’m capturing moments that I’ve been letting slip by now that I only blog once a week.  Anyway…

I decided I’d post the month’s instagrams (with captions), so that I can have those pictures/moments for my blog book. Here goes!

Instagram is lazy blogging. I love it.

Today I took a pic of two teens at the park and recorded the thought, "Is there anything more awkward than watching two young teenagers flirt?"

Now I need Instagram...I love how you captured all of that so succinctly.

Great job on the marathon, girlie. You are completely amazing, my dear ☺.

I love the, "high-brow" reading picture. I also love the napping picture with you and that darling Faith.

Tell Gabe that Augusta, Georgia has the new International Disc Golf Center (it moved from Toronto, Canada, to Augusta) We would love to have him come play with us since North Idaho let him down. I'll even make sure that John wears pants.
