Pictures That Make Me Happy

I realize that yesterday's post was kind of a downer.  So today I'm posting some pictures that make me happy and don't cause one bit of stress.  In fact, they're stress relievers.  I could look at them all day long.

This one is kind of fuzzy, but it's Small Fry's bubble bath with Thomas the Train bubble bath stuff.  He spent the better part of his time in there trying to give himself a beard and saying "Ho!Ho!Ho!" or "All aboard!"

I'm on a children in tub kick, so here's one of Tater Tot practicing spelling.  He sounded out fox and then we tried to think of words that rhyme and he figured out box.  It's a start.

David and Small Fry enjoy a little lap time.

This was back in the summer when David's parents met us for supper.

Our niece, Caroline, came, too.

The sweet lady is our next door neighbor.  She and her husband, Joe, have lived here since this part of Memphis was considered way out in the country.  Dot is crazy about Tater Tot and Small Fry and often came to sit and swing with them.  Every time Tater Tot would see her coming up the steps he would rush to the door and go out to meet her.  They could swing and talk for a long time.  Then Small Fry got in on the action and all three would have a grand time.  In the last few months, though, Dot's health has started to decline and she's not able to walk over and get up the steps to the front porch.  I think their swinging days are over, but the boys go over and visit "Grand Dot," as all children call her, fairly often.

Sometimes these boys sit together without trying to knock each other off the couch.  I like to look at pictures like this when they're chasing each other around the house trying their best to knock the other's block off.

That would be David and an upside down Small Fry, who begged to do it again about 368 times.

Finally, one that I love.  I took this over the holidays when the boys crawled up in the bed for a nap.  The sun was right in Small Fry's eyes, which woke him up, but just barely.  He eventually turned over a little and fell back asleep, and he and his brother took a long winter's nap.

I hope your day is happy.

Awwww....such great photos! You'll have to save the "Fox in Box" photo for Tator Tot's wedding. ha! :)

And I just read your previous post. Even on the college level there are "drive by's" and I HATED them. Nothing stresses you out more than having someone pop in to evaluate and the day they picked happens to be the day that NOT ONE SOUL is engaged. Remember what you said: you have a great family, a loyal dog, and so many things to be thankful for. Hang in there! :)
