Hi everyone! We have had a lovely summer over here, what with the crazily-wonderful rainy weather and of course the sweet new friends that have entered into our lives. I'm afraid to say that I have once again become a woefully neglective chronological agent for this blog, but I hope the long pictorial collage below will suffice for the bleak emptiness of the past weeks of silence here ;).
Oh, and happy first day of FALL!!!
We have had some wonderful visits with the sweet M.'s!
And lots of laughter to boot!
Our vitex tree has been blooming beautifully and the bumble-bees have found their jackpot
Grandma Lorry has been Johanna's official babysitter
Junebug has been bright and chipper as ever!
Grandma Sugar and Johanna have spent some wonderful time together (playing dolls in this case :)
Enjoying cooler weather
Bella the Bean!
We've had some wonderful visits with Mrs. Patty (Grandma Sugar's daughter)
And of course loads of giggles :)
Johanna and Dad went fishing and caught two catfish...
Our puzzle table has been put to good use.
Everyone is so focused!
But took some time out for lovely smiles.
The finished product
Wordsearch buddies!
Johanna's new friend, Trinity, Mrs. Ellie's daughter
More puzzles!
Can you tell which one's Johanna and which is Bella? :D
Johanna started piano lessons
Can you tell she's excited?
(and purple was apparently the "in" color that day, even her nails were purple!)
Lessons with sweet Miss Kate
And lots of hugs for Miss Christa!
Vanessa and Johanna had a sister-date at the park!
Dad, Johanna and Grandma Junebug put another puzzle together.
Who says a few drops of rain has to ruin a day on the deck?

The shaggy wee lass is sheared!
The hair dressers (Grandma Sugar was a hair dresser and instructor years ago!) reminiscing through Grandma Sugar's newspaper clippings collage
Mrs. Kristen, Junebug's granddaughter, also came by that afternoon for a lovely visit.
She brought these adorable little rice owls for the Grandmas and us to enjoy!
They're wonderful, thank you!
