My man

Lance

Lance is not my most willing subject, but I managed to convince him to stand still for 5 minutes while we were away on Friday afternoon for one or two photos.  Maybe next time, he’ll actually face the camera

Pesky dwellers! Too funny.

We call them jump ropes – but also said we were going off to skip rope. Either way I passed many a summer day playing with them as a child.

Chocolate and juice

I’ve been busy tonight, editing the photos from Jamie and Chris’ birthday party last week.  As soon as I got to this photo, I thought it was just perfect for the iheartfaces challenge about “Boys” this week.
It was clearly serious business eating all that chocolate and drinking his juice at his very own party
