This is a rabbit. A wild rabbit. A wild rabbit in hotel parking lot foliage.

We saw this cheeky little bunny on our walk to the restaurant
last night. We saw a wild rabbit LAST year too on our
anniversary weekend celebration (in Vancouver, WA)
So, naturally, we promptly adopted it as our spirit
animal. Blessed Be. Amen. & Yes!

Not recommended: trying to take a selfie with the sun in your eyes...

Or maybe, it IS recommended. You decide.

One, two, three: "AWWWWWwwwwww......"

Pre-Brunch Coffee At Jim & Patty's Coffee

Kids have been with Grandma Ellen since late Saturday afternoon while Mommy and Daddy celebrate their Second Wedding Anniversary!

We're back baby!

Tap water, no boiling required, that is...

He's a pretty happy, in or out of the basket.

Note: you can insert your own 'basket case' jokes as
you will!

Candyland!

We got Candyland in preparation for next weekend's
Candyland themed Molly birthday party in San Jose!
Although since auto-correct tried to change Candyland
to 'camel gland' that's how we will be referring to the
game at our house, henceforth.

For the record, Francesca has won every game but
1, out of 6. She's a lucky little gal, I tell you what.

Dottie in Daddy Kray's arms. Total innocence, total whatever that beyond us within us essence is, this makes me grateful to be alive

What a treat to meet Baby Dottie and see Big Sis Junie! And her parents of course.

Baby Dottie visit! Big sister Junie was pretty precious too.

EXTREME tire swinging

Home again, home again. Francesca, the photographer.

Adventure kids!

Hi mom! And suddenly we realize, it's cold! And there are no towels!

Playing in the Jamison fountain with Francesca

while Daddy watches the kids get drenched. Mommy blissfully unaware.

Just making sure you got a load of this flower in my hair.

Namaste Ballerinas!

Getting Ready For Picture Day At Ballet!

And Scene.

This NEVER happens to me. This whole series sent by Adriana, pretty sure all from this past week. I literally can't remember when either one of these kids fell asleep in the car with me.

Now, THIS is double trouble

Home run!!!
