If you are looking for me, I’m no longer here! I’m HERE Come on over!

This morning was a beautiful day to break out the bubbles. Our certifiably weird Jack Russell Terrier, Maggie, loves to pop bubbles. I made a quilt from pictures with Miles and Mia two years ago. You can see it here.

Here is Maggie begging for Grandpa to blow bubbles.

More bubbles, please!

Getting a little more weird, as she goes after the elusive bubbles.                               

Jumping for bubbles!

Mia blows bubbles, looking so cute in her summer skirt.

More bubbles from Mia.

Miles tries to blow bubbles while Maggie waits patiently.

Today we went to Healdsburg and bought fabric at Fabrications. We also checked out the  really cute children’s boutique called Scout where Mia scored an adorable pair of sequined flats. I’ll get a pic of her wearing them tomorrow as she is sound asleep right now. Milo got a new pair of cool berms (Bermuda shorts.) We went to the book store and had to peel M & M away from the children’s book section. We then stopped by Diane’s. We had a great time hanging out with Diane, Roger, Caroline and Gemma – the new puppy. Mia was so thrilled to come home with a bag of Caroline’s hand-me-down clothes and toys. We had artichokes and grilled shrimp for dinner. Artichokes are Mia’s favorite food. It was a day bubbling with joy for sure.

The end result of a busy day of walking the dog, swimming in the pool, shopping with Aunt Lisa and now watching an obviously profound Winnie-the-Pooh video! Maggie is a goner. Milo and Mia were not far behind.

I had to go in to church to photograph the final day of VBS and Mia went with me. She joined in all of the activities and we stayed for hot dogs, chips and ice cream sandwiches. Mia told me she wished she could have gone to the whole thing. The theme this year was Africa and a Nigerian man came in today and did drumming, dancing and singing with the kids – lots of fun!

Tomorrow, I think we might go to the Redwoods for a picnic, but we also want to go shopping for fabric in Healdsburg and stop in for a visit with Diane. All the while I am trying to finish the church newsletter for printing and mailing next week.
