:::cold boat ride:::

Henry and I took a cold, afternoon boat ride... he really loves to watch birds, so we spent most of our time chasing birds around...

:::aiden @ arietta:::

a sunday afternoon run to auburndale produced aidens first bass of 2007... florida in january at dusk = short sleeves...

:::henry's dog day:::

uncle lee, henry and jack... henry loves dogs, and pretty much anything that shows a propensity toward destruction of person and property that is like his own...

:::aiden sings:::

for christmas aiden and gran-mommy recorded several songs for monica as a christmas present...

twinkle twinkle
she sailed away
a is for alice
ignatias

:::lyle's first red:::

lyle's first redfish came at a high cost: we beached hard on the way into the ramp at cockroach bay, the game warden gave us a strict going over regarding the fish, and my man lyle, un-used to the pre-historic vehicles that required you to turn off the lights, assisted us to a dead battery that required something of a wait for a jump... but it was a good day all the same and... i caught a ton of baitfish for the first time...

:::b'day @ the park:::

june was the happiest birthday girl i've seen... she seemed like she thought she had woken into somebody else's life, and wanted to ask "can this be happening to me?"...

:::happy birthday june:::

June: on her 3rd birthday.

I want to go to “ehmmy” and “buppa’s” house
And play with my “deedo” there,
But not before I put my “lollas” on
“June’s lips urt” everywhere.

Today is the day that I turn “dree”
I still can be scared of the “da-a-a-rk”
And I won’t go out with less than three
“durses” on my arm for the park.

I accessorize, I snuggle, I jump,
I draw, and I play, and I cry.
I love it when I get to stay up late
I'll tell Aiden and "Eddie" goodbye.
