Saturday Morning Ease

Jackie's petals - this reminds me of Zuzu's petals from "It's a Wonderful Life."

I love it that when I see my Dad's hands now, they remind me of my Grandfather's hands.

Ellie on her Belly

This gal is such a delight!! She's rolling from her tummy to her back, lifting and controlling her head and smiles so much. She just makes others happy. What a gift our little Eleanor is!!

Riding with Uncle Johnny

Abbey, patiently waiting for her turn

Caroline and Jackie

They really did like this, I promise. They didn't want to get out. Uncle Johnny took the girls for a ride on his bike this summer. My brother has always had admirable character, so as an adult, things are no different. He rides quite a distance every morning to work on his bike, so that his wife and children will have a vehicle in case of emergency and he feels strongly about being as green as possible. I'd like to think the extra exercise will add some longevity to his life with his growing and beautiful family as well.

Local Outdoor Fun

Our band groupie at the farmers market. Her loyalty is split between the band booth

and the crayon booth.

Since we welcomed Miss Ellie Paige this summer, we stayed close to home and made our outings to local venues, instead of making a beach trip. Oh how we missed the beach! We'll be there next year!!

hot night on the river

Colin and Tommy - he's such a cute chunk...Tommy that is. :-)

I love a blanket on the ground with kids all over it.

My 3 favorite girls in the world.

Spaghetti Night!

Her Best Attempt at the Monkey Pose

Humanasana may need to wait. But, with Kelsey around,

it could happen sooner rather than later.
