Beautiful Things

Beat up art supplies in the morning with a bowl full of marigolds.

Marigold and art supplies

"Mama! Take a picture of me!"

Some sort of interesting archaeology by the YaYa sister.  A paintbrush and a rock.  Brush brush brush.  Knock the dust off.  Brush brush brush.

Archaeologist 3

Enough bananas and onions for everyone.

Fruit

The opening of a neighborhood dance studio.

Renee's lentil soup for lunch.

New friends.

Leftovers for dinner.

YaYa: "Come here little gecko.  I'll put a star sticker on you if you're really good and you come to me!" (Assuming that the gecko is dying for a star sticker.)

The light here.

Thanks for the pictures.....they are all getting so big, and they're still so beautiful! Miss them a lot.

Leafy is such a ham... reminds me a lot of one of mine. Marigolds -beautiful, did you grow them yourself?

Why is it the camera lens separates things just enough for their individual beauty to shine through? Maybe it's because the camera needs to stop and focus and my brain tends to rush through the day? Regardless, these pictures are lovely.

Yeah, I think you have the most adorable kids in the world.
