the last day of august

Everything has that dry, end of August straggle to it, but that's okay.

Onward to September.

Love, Val

 

another monday

They went outside for a while.  I picked up toys all over the yard this evening. Apparently they were moving sand around in the trucks.  The bubble machine was a hit.

 

There they are, all in a row.

Lots of love, Grandma and Grandpa

end of august

 So much love, Grandma and Grandpa

last weekend of august

This crazy critter took over the driver's seat while we were loading groceries.   A few miles up the road she tried to come up front from the backseat by sneaking between the windows and the passenger seat and got herself real wedged in there.  

We had to pull over and Jay had to pull her out backwards by the butt.   Then after that I could feel her little toes trying to come up front again after she failed the first time.

Jeez.

The sun finally came out today, but we kept busy in the rain.

Love, Grandma
 

our possum

There he is, beady eyes and all.   Maybe it is a girl.  We don't know!

I love these possum sightings, check the camera every morning.

Ahhh!    Maybe more videos tonight!

Love, Val

happy birthday heidi

This was the nicest birthday weekend.  So glad we got to spend it together.

Look at you, Mama, with your swimming kid:

And teaching my dog to behave and look for fish:

My whole life, and everyone else in this family too, is better because you are in it.

You're a splendid sister, aunt, friend, reliable and conscientious, plus irreverent and accepting of all of us wherever we're at, and that's not a small thing to have someone like you on our side.

Wishing you the happiest birthday, and good wishes for the year ahead too.

We could not love you more.

Love, Mom and Dad and Everybody
