The sun is low in the sky before I leave work . . .

Brian fixes hot dogs and chili to try out

his new Firepan accessories . . .

and Baby Anya enjoys her first campfire

while safely in her mother's arms . . .

Ian was watching TV

while I was getting ready for work . . .

and a . . . what is it?

An evening blessing - Anne called and

we talked and talked just like if she was home.

Nothing new for today,

so I've picked three of my favorite kid photos . . .

John . . .

Lee . . .

Anne . . .

All asleep . . . all angels.

Call me focused?

Call me oblivious?

Which am I . . . that I walked into my bank

and didn't see any problem with the sign

until I came back outside?

And, a (very blurry) photo of a yawning Anya . . .

(my mom loved pictures of yawning babies)

My first sign of spring . . .

(from Dollar Tree, Camby)

(isn't she pretty?)
