And for my next number......

And here's sweet Lou with his piano.

I neglected to mention that 

both his parents are muscians.

He appears to be taking requests.

The best I can do on a piano is chopsticks.

And it ain't pretty.

I did think of the title piano man but felt

it was too obvious and heaven

forbid I be obvious.

Like that's never ever happened. LOL.

I need to get more of those Amy Tan letters. 

I actually like them.

Nothing tricky on this page except for a bit of gentle tilting

I got from Shimelle and the popping off some corners.

Knights Key, Marathon, FL is a very relaxing place

 From my comfy lounge chair prior to napping I stalked this

bird stalking fish.

 He didn't get any fish but I got him.

 The view from our campsite is gorgeous.

Love the anahingas sunning on the rock.

They did that all.day.long.

Look how the water changes colors.

 I chased this hermit crab across the campsite.

He was fast. Really really fast.

And good at disappearing.

 This used to be the 7 mile bridge.

There is a new one.

We biked over this bridge.

2 miles up and down.

Not too mention the mileage from the campground 

to the bridge.

I got fried.

Pigeon Key, an island is at the end of the bridge.

Its quite quaint and historical.

Thankfully, the sun went back in so it 

was an easier pedal back.

I'm quite proud the feat as is Tom.

My knee did great.

Took awhile to find the rythym.

Saving the worm one at a time...........

Boys will be boys and they totally connect with worms.

Not sure how they found it since it appears they

are on a road and I've always thought

worms kinda dug dirt.

But no matter. 

Cavin and Quintin found a worm

and kept it out of harms way.

Painted and stamped on white cardstock.

Bit o'patterned paper, washi and wa-la

and twine.

We don't know where we are going

but we are on our way.

Remember Little Rascals? Well that saying

is signature Buckwheat.

Great show.

So I couldn't resist. 

This was just too fun.

Those two are just having a blast.

Good thing there are two steering wheels.

I wonder where the brakes are.

And if there's an invisible one.

Remember when teaching your kid how to drive?

I think my foot when through the floor board.

Several times.

Dapper Lou...

Here's Lou again looking quite dapper in his pinstripe suit and hat.

AND he's on his feet. Looks like walking maybe

on the horizon soon.

Wow. 

Way.too.fast. 

with the growing up.

I forgot I had that adorable envelops until I was snooping

through my stash and rearranging things.

Lou's mom is a librarian so that's a cool thing she can journal on.

Authentique music paper because dad is a music teacher

and muscian.

Remenisce and other assorted scraps.

Manic Monday

Was very quiet. 

Lots of peeps doing their taxes.

I happened to fall asleep and woke up tired.

Sad day. Again.

 I must've over done it the past few days.

So it's Lou's Happy 1st.

One year old.
Growing up way too fast.

And the theme was whales so jumping

on the bandwagon.

I made one.

According to my ahem friends that say it looks

more like a goldfish cracker.

HEY! I drew this by hand - and cut it out.

All without a net. :)

Hugs and prayers to Boston.
They need to get the bad guys.

It's Miss Amelia's birthday today.

I'm awaiting pix.

Daddy's Hoodie

What's a girlie to do when its nippy out.

Well this one put on daddy's hoodie.

It covers it all.

Is totally warm.

It's awesomely cuddley.

Love the photo, that face and eyes.

Tis Studio Calico.

Except for the butterfly and twine.

Knee is doing great and the bathroom re-do is coming along.

It's going to be beautiful- I can't wait.

Kitchen is pretty much together except for one cabinet.

Will be starting PT soon.

It felt good to scrap although I sat a lot of the time as opposed to standing

like I normally do. I also tried not to do TOO much

hopping up and down - which is good but tiring.

My set up does require a bit of hopping about.
