had to get out of the heat....102 in slo - welcome back to school!

80's in Morro Bay, absolutely beautiful

all smiles...food was on the way

my favorite...

because of this....no one does fish and chips like the Hofbrau...

obligatory stop at the park...captain of her own ship (i so know how she feels)

a view from vacation...

little feet of baby jax...so perfect

I was having a post church siesta with my bink....
and then all the cousins wanted to hold me!

went to Shaver Lake and did a lot of this...

even the littlest grant was up for towing...

the man-child....contemplating...?

my view each morning...

there is something very precious about being 7 years old,
playing quietly on a summer afternoon...

somehow sammie and jacob just seem to go together....
trust me - i know...you don't believe me, but this is how the dog sleeps....oi.

jacob....jr day camp team spirit day!

may i just say...if roundabouts are going to be utilized - there should be at least one question on the california driving test on the appropriate way to enter and exit....i'm just saying.

don't ask...just go with it - i had an interesting interaction with a roundabout...

Emma and I had an unexpected evening out together....
mexican food, walk on the pier, time to talk...very precious.

The hush of the Holy Spirit....

Must be summer!!!

well....i don't know what to say....we have never had a 'normal' animal and it looks like the pup isn't any different. welcome to the Grant Family...(yes, she is asleep)

Would have given just about anything to be there and seen this in person.

my tank is empty...oh a bit of refreshment this would have been...
