Finding ways to enjoy washing dishes...


This is what Sean does when he cleans up his plate after eating...He blows these enormous bubbles using the dishsoap....I might have to try this when no one is home. He had way more fun cleaning up than I usually do in the kitchen!

Fairy with Gardenia



I selfishly took a gardenia off a neighborhood shrub while on my morning walk today. My grandma always wore "Jungle Gardenia" perfume and I was in the mood to remember my grandma today. Gardenias are so beautiful, elegant, strong and fragile all at once - so like my Grandma. And of course, she always smelled wonderful ~ like a Gardenia! I miss her very much!

Sean got to go swimming at Grandma's AND drink a soda...his favorite things....

Little Mandy is growing bigger. She's very energetic - however when she gets tired she crashes. This was a short restful moment....she is sweet!
