Makes My Monday

Finding this in Darren's backpack this morning as I retrieved his lunch box to fill.
[He had me at the peek-a-boo pilgrim.]

Seeing this smiling girl with a pack-full of My Little Ponies heading out to deliver them yesterday to a much-beloved, and pony-loving, family friend.

Seeing this gorgeous couple in our home this weekend! Oh yes, at long last I finally got to meet face-to-face one of my very favorite friends, the lovely -- and seriously, look how lovely she is! -- Laura of Catholic Teacher Musings. The fact that she happens to be married to one of my oldest friends, Matt, just made the visit that much more special. [We only got to spend a short time together, but in those two hours, we demonstrated that uncanny BFF-ability to be thinking the same thing at the same time. Makes My Monday!]

Being the she-half of this couple. The look on Scott's face is the one he has right before he laughs...and I am so grateful my photographer brother extraordinaire captured it so wonderfully. [Why I am so protective of my husband's nipple, I don't know...but that odd hand placement also Makes My Monday!]

So do tell! After a long holiday weekend, what makes YOUR Monday? Post it, link back, and share it! We could all use a bit of Monday Making...

The picture of you and Scott cracks me up. It's an adorable picture, but of course after your comment, all I can think is you're doing a weird coverup. :-)

So cute! I love Darren's peek-a-boo Pilgrim! And I love the pic of you & Double Daddy! Made my Monday too!

Laura said...

I think I want to play "Makes My Monday" when I come home from the chiropractor tonight...
I think I know what will Make My Monday at that point.
Great pilgrim picture..what is he carrying in his right hand?
AND...little Miss Sarah took a good picture of Mr. and Mrs. Fetters- though my face is a bloat fest...more face to love I suppose.

Tracy said...

Great pic, and I snarfed when I read your "protecting his nipple" comment. :)

You could say your post made my Monday! (though I have much to be happy about in general today and everyday, too...)

I linked to today's post, which has lots of fun pics (IMHO, anyway.)

Brandi said...

Love the pic of you and Scott. Glad you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

They are beautiful pics Cheryl. You and your husband always look so happy together. Love to see happy couples.

Rebecca said...

Great shot! I think it's nice that you're trying to protect his nipple!

You just made my Monday with that photo of you and Scott. Thanks so much for sharing it. I needed a big smile today.

Two of my favorite bloggers got to meet! Wish I could have been a fly on the wall.

I love the pilgrim picture - the figure on the left is either a Native American or maybe a large puppy.

I never would have notice your hand in the last picture if you hadn't pointed it out! Too funny!
