Delighted By

A quiet neighborhood stroll with the kids this morning.

How long Chloe's hair is getting!!

Perfect for playing with :-)

* * * * * * * * * * * *

Roy's latest choices for where to sleep.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

Glancing through pictures of Todd and Evan's
Father's Day outing to Walnut Creek.

There is something so nostalgic about Buttermilk Falls
and seeing Evan standing where I stood 20 years ago.
(Did I just say 20??? Yikes!)

The blanket wrap -- perfect accessory for a walk.
Or anytime for this girl.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

Evan's blossoming interest in drawing.
Here is a monster truck on the kitchen window.

(click the picture to enlarge and see it better)

And his latest "self-portrait" --
"Mom, I drew a picture of me! It's for you to keep forever!"

These gorgeous climbing roses in a nearby garden.

And this one from a different garden... sigh.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

The fact that this almost 2 year old still nurses... a lot.
(Ok, I know this is gross to some of you, but it is such
a treasure to us.The photo is discreet if you dare to look.)

* * * * * * * * * * * *

The statement "Mom, play with me"
from Evan a dozen times a day.

You never know how long these little phases will last,

so even if it is annoying or I have other things
that need done, yes, I will play.
