Jesse and Vicenta

 I had a most enjoyable afternoon with this beautiful couple.  Jesse and Vicenta recently celebrated their 63 anniversary, they have multiple great great grandchildren and they took care of more foster children than they can remember. 

Julie and Tobie

 Tobie took us for a walk/run at Lee Martinez Park.  We had planned for a different location but due to rain had to head north toward the blue skies.  The light and weather were lovely despite the light drizzle.

Elise and Bob Ross Paint on the Porch

 My neighbor Elise is learning to paint from the master, Bob Ross.  We hung out and watched her paint and she let Viola play with her paint brushes.  She is so calm and kind with my children.  Watch for her work on Etsy.

Ethel

 The kids and I spent the afternoon with Ethel getting to know her, playing with her garden critters and admiring her freshly painted red porch.

 Ethel is a paint by number expert.

 Boomer got in on the shoot too.

Baby Aaron will be here any day, is he ready for two silly sisters?

 We took a stroll down the neighborhood walking trail and enjoyed the weeds in the backyard before they get the ax.

 Julia constructed this lego creation all by herself, she was so proud.

Farmer Charlie

 My mom wanted some one year old pictures of Charlie so this morning I dressed him up in his too small overalls and no shirt and plopped him in the garden (there's an empty spot where the radishes used to be).

Garner loves to skateboard

 My nephew Garner has really gotten into skateboarding and he's getting pretty good.

Number Three for Lyn

 My lovely cousin Lyn is waiting for her third little one to make an appearance.  Little Breck and Hart are so excited to meet their new sister and teach her all that she needs to know.  We spent the sunny Mississippi morning around the house watching the kids have some fun on bikes and scooters in the driveway,  it's hard to keep your feet up when there are already two very active little ones running around.

 Now that's a dad who knows how to keep mom happy, fresh caught tuna dip delivery.
