Racing cars

The boys had such a blast racing cars on a new racetrack that their cousin, Micha, passed down to them today.  The hysterical screams, giggles and laughter coming from the living room were priceless. :)  THANK YOU Laura and Micha!

Salvaged day

We had a pretty rough start to the day today when my sweet son had to get two baby teeth extracted (they just wouldn't fall out) at the dentist... and then I had to drop off my camera at the shop for some minor repairs (won't get it back until Thurs night!! Luckily, my mom is letting me borrow her point and shoot to get through until then...), BUT we both recovered and salvaged the day with a super- cool Ninjago Lego purchase, and a swim in the pool with my sister's family.  We had a great family dinner all together.  I can't believe how big my nephews are getting!  I LOVE watching all the kids together.  My boys couldn't stop kissing and cuddling their baby cousin....so sweet.

View from the house after sunset

This was the view from my parents' dock in Jupiter long after sunset tonight. I guess the Dengue Fever, which I most certainly must now have, might have been worth it.  ;-) What a beautiful night!

Yellow petals

Today, the boys and I went to the new Publix in Key West, and when were checking out, I was surprised when they gave me a free bouquet of flowers as part of their grand opening!  The flowers are beautiful - they really cheer up the house.  Here is a close up of one of the yellow flowers in the bunch.  

Preening at sunset

I saw this heron late in the day by the salt marsh/mangroves near my house.  I liked his fuzzy silhouette as he was preening.  

My date for sunset tonight

I watched the sunset with this curious little Key Deer tonight.  Isn't she sweet?

Hair cut

Nothing too exciting today...just wanted to document my son's nice summer hair cut.  I had to sneak the photo while he was watching a show on tv.  He looks so handsome and grown up.... ugh.
