sweethearts from sunday

(Easter) Sunday I snapped these pictures just before we left.  It was sunny, but breezy and cool.

Guess Who?

 Meet Mr. "You don't know who I am when I'm wearing my super hero glasses"

He shows up frequently on our doorstep.  Knocks.  Giggles.  Then runs back to his bike and rides away.

The other day I asked John to pick up the toys in the Living Room.  He picked UP the toys alright.  Put them UP on the chair.

It's 'daddy-lion' season.  Each day when the kids come inside I'm greeted with handfuls of daddy-lion's.

(Is it just me, or is blogger giving other people trouble with uploading pictures?  I wanted to upload 5 pictures, these are the only 2 that uploaded!)

Like most people, we have our moments/days. 
And then we have moments like this.
