A couple hold-overs

March 4, 2008 By Kelle

We went for a walk today and stopped by the lake…
…and that’s my pretty baby in yellow! She looks like sunshine!

A Day Like This One

March 3, 2008 By Kelle

If Life were a movie, today would be one of those parts you rewind over and over ‘cuz it’s really, really good. Like Tom Hanks-finding-Meg Ryan-at-the-top-of-the-Empire-State-Building kind of good.

Isle of Capri Sunday…just like we used to, and I found myself pinching myself today again thinking–amazingly still after living here for 5 years–“I live here. “

Blue sky and cotton candy clouds. Really cold beer, live reggae music, bare sandy baby feet, sunshine that never ends, and one of those moments I find myself having more and more frequently where I stop. …and think…”This? This is happiness.”

Somewhere between the boys digging a hole so deep in the sand I could sit in it and not see over and the dred-locked Rastafarian singing one of my favorites–“Could You Be Loved,” I realized just how lucky we are to enjoy this kind of Sunday. Oh, and Lainey tasted her first grouper finger…and loved it!

And…is there anything more magical than watching a Daddy who loves his cubby-girl?
P.S. When we were taking pictures on the dock, we were facing the restaurant full of tourists. Lainey was hamming it up good …laughing, waving, smiling. A man came out of the restaurant, walked over to me and said, “I was having a really, really good day. But, this? (pointing at Lainey) This made it even better.” Awwww. I like dat man. Well said, my friend. Well said.

And, from a little earlier today…

The One With the Beater

March 1, 2008 By Kelle

I made real whipped cream yesterday, and let Cubby finish off the beater. Pure Fun to watch.
P.S. The dogs weren’t sure if they liked the new addition. It took them a long time, but I am happy to annouce that now, they LOVE her…for obvious reasons.

“The most effective kind of education is that a child should play amongst lovely things.” -Plato
