peek a boo...

I keep reading posts about sweltering heat, and those dog days of summer but I gotta tell ya, not here in Southern California.  In fact these 70's and 80's the first week in July have me kind of worried about what our September and October are going to be like. 

Needless to say, the weather for the weekend of the 4th was absolutely perfect.

This is my beautiful mom and my sweet SIL, enjoying a visit on the front porch...

Stay with me through these next few...indulge this smitten granny for a minute or two...

I made this patriotic throw from some fabric I found in the remnant bin at Joannes...the pillows were clearance  at Walmart.   I thought this might be a nice place to sit and visit after dinner.  You'll notice the two small chairs for Andrew and Emily...

Doesn't Emily look mighty comfy as she watches Andrew start a game of peek a boo...

Never one to be outdone by her older, (by 7 months) cousin, she joins in...

To which he says, "Hey, all this playing has tired me out...follow me, let me show you what grandma made us."

"Now this is what I'm talkin' bout..."

"What'll ya give me if I jump on him and wake him up?"

To which Bear replies, "Everybody off...you know she made this for me!

Hope you all had a blessed, family filled (including canine) holiday.
