parks, playgrounds, and pavements

also while in california, we spent lots of free time at parks & playgrounds with the family... and a few nights we spent in the front yard of auntie jo's house...


auntie april and norah, getting some cuddle time (and yes, they are both wearing sweatshirts!)

my little ninja, grace -
seth had a really cool sweatshirt!

jayden, tossing the ball with papa mel.
showing off his newly acquired baseball skills


norah, grace and sarah outside riding bikes and being goofy
ya know, norah is a character... when no one is looking, she just comes through with this incredible personality. but then there are days, like today, when we are around lots of people, she resorts to baby talk and screaming... funny girl.



eye spy, with my little eye...

checking out roses with papa mel

relaxing with the aunties, grace finds herself right at home with her aunts

he isn't caged, just should be!

she poses...
sarah, grace, april and bela
the kids fell right in love with bela (i guess april did, too!)

so happy to be together!
best buds - jayden and micah
jayden doesn't believe me that his middle name is actually
jayden alan jiggs busch
he and micah share the middle name 'jiggs'
(micah evan jiggs holmes)
and that's all to do with being cousins close in age, their parents who spent way too much time in a car on their way to college and home, and one crazy inside joke


gammie pushing norah - gammie also loved having the family all together again



and norah loves herself some swing!
