An outing with my sister & Summer fun

Ruthe and I are both into photography and so in June we took a trip downtown together to snap some shots of architecture mostly. We also stopped at the Phoenix Brewery for some watermelon beer. It was a great day and a reprieve from momma duties for me as daddy was caring for the boys back at home.


The pigeons really liked this tree



The Orpheum

Loved the reflection off of this building



It was a beautiful day

We want to break in to this building


A hidden oasis

 We also had some summer fun with a visit to Famous Dave's along with Nana and Gompa and some pool time in the back yard.

Family

The family endures because it offers the truth of mortality and immortality within the same group. The family endures because, better than the commune, kibbutz, or classroom, it seems to individualize and socialize its children, to make us feel at the same time unique and yet joined to all humanity, accepted as is and yet challenged to grow, loved unconditionally and yet propelled by greater expectations. Only in the family can so many extremes be reconciled and synthesized. Only in the family do we have a lifetime in which to do it. -Letty Cottin Pogrebi
