les petites enfants

 During this week of sadness and loss (two deaths and funerals in one week) we are thankful for the happy moments...times we can spend with our family and friends and rejoice in the smiles and squeals of laughter! Last Saturday, we spent time with two of our sons and their families.

 at a pool party...

 observing a new way to slide...

 enjoying Grandpa L. It was a gorgeous and relaxing day.

 Then we went on to visit with Jame and his boys. We are loving how this little guy is now on the move!

He's so observant of everything he sees...

 and this little boy has such a lovely imagination! (talking with grandma on the phone, and oh the stories he did tell!)...

Then it was time for a long walk, we played "I spy" and oh the things we saw along the way!

 When we got back home, a box arrived--and of course, we had to see what was inside!

 We just love those generous smiles!

 It was a great ending to the day.
