Bromeliad

One of many flowers blooming around my dad's back porch. We spend most of our time on that porch when we go to visit.

Claudia

Art, Carol, and Claudia came for a visit this past weekend. This is Claudia, my niece and the youngest of my parents' grandchildren.

Brother & Sister

My dad and his sister recently celebrated their 82nd and 81st birthdays. My grandmother had 3 July babies 3 Julys in a row. This was taken at my cousin's house.

Grasshopper Surprise

As I was walking past my hanging basket this colorful grasshopper caught my attention. I can remember being afraid of these when I was a kid and had to help pick figs at Aunt Lilly's house.

Emily & Gregg

Saturday night Emily came over after attending a friend's wedding. It is nicer to live a little closer so she can "pop" in a little more often. She left early Sunday morning to get back to a church function.

Great Grandpa

Hermit Crabs

At the park they were selling these colorfully painted hermit crabs for $5. Fascinating to all the little kids.

Knoxville Reunion 07-04-07

Some of the Lyles at the park in Alcoa, TN. These are mostly Jenny Gay's kids with one of Gina's thrown in and the Lyle seniors.

Beach Chairs

I liked the color of these chairs at the hotel in Panama City. We went there to visit David.

David Very Tanned

I don't know why he wouldn't crack a smile...being macho I guess. He is working on the beach at Panama City for the summer. He is a team leader with Campus Outreach.

Papa Gregg

Catching a few zzzzzzzzz's with Kaelem. We haven't settled on a name for us grandparents. Emily suggested Mama and Papa Lyle. Any other suggestions?

The Little Family--Early June 07

Sorry again that I have been absent on here. Here are a few posts of the highlights of my last few months.

Kaelem is only a week old and they had a friend who is into photography taking pictures so I snapped a few too.
