Instagram Love

  I got way behind the times with my cell phone and I finally got a new one last year. The lady at the store had to hold back laughter when she saw the phone I was using. I'm not one of those people who has my cell phone to my ear all the time. I don't even talk on it much at all but I like having it to make quick calls or for an emergency. One thing I have become addicted to since getting my new phone is Instagram. Once I started using it I was like "Why didn't I do this sooner?"
 
  Now I'm always looking for something to photograph with my phone. When we travel I have to switch back and forth between my Canon and my cell phone. It is a hassle but I kick myself if I don't get shots with both. It is wild to look at what we can take with our phones now and know that technology is going to just keep getting better.

  These are a few of my favorites from my Instagram feed. Follow me at http://instagram.com/mmdlori

Jessie's One Year Anniversary

   Last January I was checking the Petfinder site frequently to try and find a young dog or puppy we might adopt, and I stumbled upon a precious little 5 month old Collie mix that has just been listed. We sent in an application right away and as luck would have it, we were the first in line. It took a few weeks but we were finally able to bring Jessie home in February.
   It is funny how quickly they become spoiled rotten. I know it is our own fault- but who can resist that adorable little face? She is sweet, smart, and fun to have around. She is a little clingy and whiny at times- especially when her dad and brother leave her. And we are trying to break her of digging in the yard. But Jessie has an easy-going nature and fun personality. We were lucky to find her. Happy Anniversary to my baby girl!

Jeremy can't enjoy a snack in peace.

Rather than lay beside him gets behind his head on the couch.

Beautiful girl!
