artist

chap LOVES to paint, to color, and all things artsy.  this did not come from me.  thank the sweet Lord for andy's genes.  this last pic is for him. he loves when chap's hair is up in a bun. tried to get one of her smiling but she was way too serious for that.

octopus

you are on our hearts.

fyi - eileen was horrified of an octopus, not sharks or stingrays or gators but really really worried if she was on the boat with andy that she would fall in and an octopus would eat her.  so this one is for her.

pool

pool day

outside

bubbles & chalk.  good combo for these two.

busy

 busy boy.

brag

so i'm just gonna brag. eileen showed me how to sew right before she left and  i thought chap's baby needed a better dress than her horrible cinderella garb she had going. so i hate to say it, but i think this is dang good.

family

a little family fishing love on valentine's day.  rowe was pretty excited about his catch. chap was mainly thrilled that i splurged and bought goldfish for the trip.  each to their own.

big

so chap's moving on up to the big girl bed.

bro

some resemblance? i think yes.  happy late bday, bro:-)

dreaming

downloaded some pics and found this old one from idaho.
