Gifts

A busy happy life...... Leah, our 17 year old high school junior, is playing rugby. We are learning about a sport we knew nothing about. Leah, on the left (with her painted friend and team mate) loves it.

Kayden and Gramma had a sleepover Saturday night because his mom and dad were attending parties for Autumn and Peter, respectively, in preparation for their wedding May 23. Kayden is holding a basketball and a hammer. He is obsessed with balls of all kinds, but especially basketball. When we walk around the neighborhood he points out EVERY hoop he sees and wants me to lift him up so he can put a regular size ball in the hoop like his dad does..... The hammer goes to a new toy (of course)- a maze that balls travel through after you hammer them down through holes. He did a good job and didn't even try the hammer on the cats or dogs.

The furry family are all doing ok. Nell was taking a sun nap and the window pane painted a tattoo on her side.(Picture inspired by my friend Kurt who takes really cool pictures of sun and shadow. Hail to the master!) Mollie is feeling more at home and loves her back yard. I had put in a stone walkway where Lady and Winnie had worn the grass thin and Mollie has decided that the other side of the yard is her path of choice....sigh....

So many gifts to brighten each day.
