Ahh! Back in Florida Again!



I know, I'm late again with my post. These pictures were taken on Mother's Day (over a week ago!) in my son's backyard. He and his wife have truly worked a miracle. Their parklike yard counts as one too, having been wrested from a long-neglected piece of land on the Avalon peninsula, east of Pensacola. They have created a paradise for their other little miracle, Micah, to play in and enjoy the beauty around him.

Grandpa gets a little time off from work in Illinois. He spent as much time as he could this past week with his grandson, who just turned one last Friday (more pictures in another post about that big event).

Daddy, don't look down!

You too, Mom! Keep looking up! She really does, Micah. My daughter-in-law has a personality and outlook on life as sunny and bright as her shirt and the afternoon we shared.

Grandpa, hurry up and take the picture. It's warm out here today, and our smiles are starting to melt. That's okay, though. We'll have plenty more good times to smile about next week (sorry, Micah, last week). Let's see... I have swimming lessons on Tuesday and Thursday, and then I get a cake all to myself at my first birthday party on Saturday. I can't wait to see all of my friends and family at Grandma and Grandpa's house!

  2. Thank you, Sarah. You know, I have absolutely no qualms about being a granny, either. Now turning gray, that's another matter...
