The makings of a little boy's paradise.
That's what we do when we go home.
:: Since birth, all three of my boys have been lulled to sleep during one of our wheeling trips. This was the ONLY way we could get Jesse to stop screaming in the early days. And now it's Rancey's turn to snuggle in and just go along for the ride.
:: From the wagon on back, Mom threw some water on Dad "just to be funny."
So - Dad went home the muddy way - gunning it through ALL of the puddles - "just to be funny."
I don't think Mom will try to be funny next time.....
:: My view for most of the week-end.
"Summer afternoon. The two most beautiful words in the English language." ~ Henry James
Simplicity at its finest.
It's the little things....
1437. Week-ends in the County.
1438. Hours on the four-wheelers.
1439. Nachos and movies.
1440. Laughing until we cry.
1441. Uncle Clay playing with my baby.
1442. Wide open spaces - fields and trees.
1443. Snakes, salamanders, frogs, taddies, and trout.
1444. Seeing my own parents play and be silly.
1445. Taking time to slow and BE.
1446. Grampy's and Grammy's filling little boy's love tanks.
1447. Jesse's tears when we left because he wanted to stay longer.
