Beautiful Day for a Bike Ride

Reunited and It Feels So Good ...

Remember that old song?  Peaches and Herb, wasn't it?

Anyway ...

Scarlett and Christian absolutely LOVE their Papa ... and a good Papa is he!

We were at the park when Jonathan returned home from work.  Looks like maybe he was gone on a long trip, right?  Nope ... just a usual work day and he gets all this love when he comes home!  One lucky chap!

Love and Timeout

Christian was sent to timeout, and Scarlett decided he needed a hug.  It was so cute, I let her stay with him for the full 6 minutes.  She hugged him, kissed him, patted his back. Not a bad way to spend 6 minutes of your life! :)

Christian's Birthday, Part II: The Party

For the first time, we threw Christian a "real" birthday party, complete decorations, goodie bags, treats, and lots of friends!!!  This year's theme was PIRATES, with Christian starting as the ultimate pirate, Captain Hook!
