Has it been Six Months?!?!

I have sat down numerous times to post something new from the "Parmer's Perspective," and I could give about 50 reasons why I haven't. Here are just a few... we have had 12 cases of strep in our home since the beginning of May, I have three small children, we adopted a puppy, I take all my pictures on my phone, and I'm too lazy to take the time to e-mail them to myself and post them, the list could go on. But, tonight my kids were asleep by 7:45 and just in case anyone is still checking to see if we're alive I thought I would take some time to post a few of my favorite pics from the last six months. I would love to sit down and write the details that I have missed in not posting, but that really overwhelms me. So, here are some pictures, and I'll try to post more often!
(Sorry these pics are so small, I know what I did wrong and I'll fix it next time!)

This is the newest member of the Parmer Family. Meet Joanna (JoJo)!!! We love, love,love this dog. She is our 10 month old Pit Bull Terrier Mix that we adopted in May.

Sam absolutely loves to mow the lawn! On this particular Sat. it was blazing hot, so he had to have a bandanna on just like daddy! (he doesn't actually mow, but he really enjoys riding in the backpack)

Thomas is still very much attached to his "mimi." I think he will end up taking it to college with him, but that's OK with me:)


Not sure if you can tell because the pic is so small, but today the kids were coloring in their Publix coloring books and Sam decided that he should color his face!

Yes, this is JoJo in our bed! She is sleeping and so is Ben. Let me just say that Ben loves this dog so much! At first he didn't even want her in the house, but as you can see he has since changed his tune!
