| enjoying the warm weather |
 |
| Manolo loves this spot under the Japanese Maple. He has been missing for two days. I hope he comes back. My kitty. |
 |
| The Calla Lily from Coos Bay, and then planted at our old house and now here, bloomed. |
 |
| All my starts from seed. I have gourds, pumpkins, tomato, tomatillo, peppers, watermelon and cantelope |
 |
| hugs for Danny |
 |
| watermelon on the deck. We eat outside almost every lunch. |
 |
| proud of himself for climbing the stairs. |
 |
| shooting Manolo with the water gun |
 |
| before they fell off-and I buckled them from now on |
 |
| painting the walls...this bath is still not finished. |

| Ben cut my peonies...arg |
 |
| Danny is really good at stacking blocks |
 |
| railing and windows found dirt cheap! |
 |
| so happy when this was cleaned up |
 |
| this is the perfect size for them. |
 |
| trim put up around windows and primed. Now we have to paint. |
 |
| Danny's sequence of disappointed faces. |
 |
| perfect place to play zoo |
 |
| getting so much better |
 |

 |
| Porker Danny |
 |
| So excited to see his Papa. He tried reaching for the door handle, but couldn't reach! He was so frustrated. |
 |
| I love mornings on the deck. |
 |
| shortly after this, Ben pulled Danny's highchair forward and poor Danny fell face forward and was trapped. It only takes two seconds of being gone... |
 |
| to calm down, we took a bath. |
 |
| His eye! I think the popsicle stick poked it. He held onto it the whole time even after he fell. |
 |
| Danny has a thing for balls. He loves them. Especially this one that he can roll on top of. |
 |
| this seems like a good idea |
 |
| first time setting up the pool |
 |
| summer thunderstorms and chocolate face |
 |
| replacing boards rotted from under shower. Don't fall through! |
 |
| Found this hammock from someone who was moving. |
 |
| waiting for us to leave for church |
 |
| morning sun on the deck |
 |
| he's pretty happy. we've had so many popsicles this year |
 |
| Oh Manolo. Enjoying the chair. |
 |
| Reading to Danny to calm him down. Danny wasn't interested. |
 |
| Manolo taking an opportunity to snuggle with someone who doesn't move so much |
 |
| first ripe blueberries! |
 |
| everyone needs a superhero cape |
 |
| these are always their ideas |
 |
| new raspberry bed. |
 |
| sprinklers in the front yard |
 |
| strategic picture of boys since Danny was naked |
 |
| pretty sunsets |
 |
| too tired to finish his otterpop |
 |
| I relish these moments of quiet when they get along |
 |
| they like to take selfies |
 |
| entertaining ourselves while we wait for Jamir on Wednesday night |
 |
| The tomatoes has some weird twisty leaves going on. They have since grown out of it and the gourds are already to the top of the arch! |
 |
| After 9 months of chaos, I am finally organizing the storage room |
 |
| new lights, and painted railing going down. Its almost finished except for the stairs. And I need some large prints of the boys here. |
 |
| planted some lavender this year. I love it. I want to have a flower blooming every week of the year. |
 |
| Ben and his friend at a party. They did pretty well considering they didn't fall down and were the smallest contestants. |
