Last Weekend

This one is my favorite.





Hee hee. A sneaky shot of dad-doh AND a silly belly.

We had a really nice and relaxing weekend spent with our Texas A&M friend Yancy. We went for a hike up and down Kennesaw Mountain on Saturday, followed by an awesome linner at Pappasitos. Then the next day we went to the botanical garden - it was an oddly "cool" weekend for the south - 2 completely perfect summer days in a row. More pics of that later. Here are some pictures after our hike where we stopped to re-hydrate under a tree. Helen very much enjoyed the leaves, mulch, dirt, and slate where we stopped. We've been enjoying such things more and more as she less and less puts everything in the mouth. It was a very zen experience captured by Yancy's awesome camera.

Love these pictures and Mommy I very much appreciate your efforts to post pictures. Helen was right at home playing in the 'dirt' as children do. She looks so delighted at all the cool stuff on the ground. She also is beginning to look like a little girl and not a little baby. xoxoxoxo Grandma

I'm going to get Dad to make me an 8 x 11 pix of your favorite. I just love it! Such a content little girl playing in the dirt and finding so many fascinating things to show Mommy and Daddy. xoxoxo Grandma

I love it. She happily exploring the world. I've been digging in the dirt too on our little local organic farm in Rancho Cordova along the bike path by the river! When you visit we will have to show you around the chicks and chickens, sheep, pigs and awesome vegetables. xoxox
