An Evening in October

Brockton came over to play one evening in October. Tracy was home when he got there and I was not. Tracy put a leash on Molly and proceeded to go for a walk with Brockton and Molly just as I got home. I ran in and got my camera and we headed out to the neighborhood playground.

I tried to get a picture of Brockton on the way. Whoops, have to snap quick! That boy doesn't like to hold still anymore.

When we first took Brockton to the playground a few months ago, he would see some of the bark on the sidewalk and he just had to pick it up and put it back where it belonged. This day he was having a great time throwing the bark in the air and didn't care if it landed on the sidewalk.

Brockton leading Molly. I love how his little tongue is sticking out.

Now Molly's the one sticking her tongue out.

Grandpa played hide and seek with Brockton, who got distracted when he saw the slide and started sliding down.

Grandpa jumped out from his hiding place.

Brockton thought it was fun to jump off the sidewalk onto the bark and did this a few times.

Smelling the flowers. I was surprised he didn't fall on his nose.

I asked Brockton to sit and pose for a picture. I was very pleased when he did sit, but it only lasted about 5 seconds and he was on his way again. I have to snap quick when he's my model.

Jace

I can't believe Jace is a junior this year. Where did the time go? Jace and his friend Mark went with me yesterday to assist as I took family portraits of the Gorringes. Jace is such a good kid. He's a high honor roll student, dang good looking and my baby. He and Mark let me take a few pictures of them before we left. Great fun! I love taking pictures! See my photoblog for more.

Wa-Wa (Water)

Brockton loves to go outside when he comes to visit. One of the things he loves to do is water the plants. He calls water wa-wa. Last week, before it got cold, he came over and wanted to water. After awhile, he started playing with the hose, making the water dance and jiggle. He even got so brave that he put the hose up to his head, hence the wet hair. Trace was working on his pipe puller, so I called to him to watch Brockton for a minute so I could run and get the camera. It took him a minute, so I missed all the water dancing, but I did get a few fun pictures.

Look at that cute little tongue. He's hard at work.
