Funny Kids

This was Elianna's idea for a cup holder. she's drinking water from her sippy cup inside her brother's boots!

Joel had to see why it was all the rage...

Peek-a-boo Mama!

Joel's nest is best!

This is what Joel does during nap time, snuggles into his nest of blankets, pillows, bathrobe, clothes, hats, etc on the floor... You can tell by his big smile just how proud he is of his "creation". This is how he "builds" houses with toys too..drives me CRAZY!!!

Small Garden Wonders

We are going to have some (about a pint is my guess!) organic cherry tomatoes yet! Joel got the first vine ripened one today...his response, "Yummy!" This is the one and only tomato plant that came up and I think it was from my replant in July.

Sandbox and A Few Feet From There...

Jess sent me this picture edited...isn't it so pretty?

Getting dirty and having fun in the sandbox!

Joel & Elianna

Joel walking in our driveway with a dandelion.

Joel is getting into some more difficult puzzles and loves them!

Maybe she is growing to like dolls since she is sharing her blankie with one?!

Elianna's blue blankie must go everywhere...even into the pool!




Just a few recent pics of the kids. Joel is 3.5 years. Elianna is nearing 18 months!
