Summer Running

I love this color picture so much, I made a new category of photos on the upper right side called 'Favorite Images', so I can bundle all my favorite solo images for everyone to see easily.  This was taken September 2nd but the weather was still so summery and warm.  The yard at the new house is perfect for summer days and running outside, Matt and Arin were kicking around a bouncy ball and splattering a giant mushroom. You can see the sky is starting to turn red and orange from the sunset and we're just about to go inside for a tasty dinner that Matt just finished cooking on the grill.  It all makes for just such a timeless moment that I will cherish.

Bath Time

Taking a nice bath in his very own bathtub at the new house... eventually he'll have the whole bathroom to himself when we finally get the master bedroom settled in.  For now he has to share though, but the tub is so nice and clean now it doesn't matter, and there's tons of space to play with his bath time Thomas trains!

Walking the Forest

Arin getting a ride through the wonderland of woodland trails behind my mom's house.  After her yard ends there are wide trails that four wheelers make occasional use of, which eventually lead to the pipeline and a large river.  We used to explore the area all the time growing up, and it was fun to take Bobo out there for a walk and I hope to do it more often.  The only trouble is we have terrible ticks, but for enchanted moments like this it is worth it.

Summer Chocolate Face

I love this, perfect summer memory!  Nothing like a breakfast of a rich chocolate muffin while the warm air beckons for a day of playing outside.  Fresh flowers from the garden help too.  I'm starting a new 'starred' label for my favorite single pictures.  This way I can eventually organize them into sections that are easily clickable and findable, and all my favorites will be right there!

Sweet Cheeks

Bobo looks so sweet with his kissable cheeks and 'lover's lips' as Noni says.  His eyes are still that dark blue color, turning slowly into dark brown.  And of course, he's sporting a nifty little mohawk with his super fine soft baby hair.
