2 boats and a helicopter

Leila blowing bubbles. Or eating bubbles.

Which just saves us time from having to wash her mouth out later.

Cousin Abby in a rare moment of solitary reflection.

Light as a feather, Stiff as a board.
Nyssa'd had 2 weeks of swimming lessons and it really showed.
She loved being in the water, kicking with Nana or her inflatable kick board.

Leila also loved the water, until she was bitten by a fish.

"Fish. Bite."

I cannot know if this was dance class, day care, work, or going on vacation.
I do know that she has a fashionable hat

Countering stereotypes at such a young age.  Here Leila is en-captured in her
big sister's favorite game, The Indianapolis 500.

Not on vacation. Just so beautiful and cute. Katy and I have to work hard to
get out of her way and let her be who she wants to be.

Because this is what happens when we do. (or when she gets exactly what she
wants which is almost the same thing)

I told my friend Darci on Tuesday that we had a flash flood past our house.
And she didn't believe me.  This is not a photo of Tuesday's flood, the picture is 3
years old. Tuesday morning (and then Tuesday night)'s floods were larger than
this, but it is the only daylight picture I have.

This I took Tuesday night, it doesn't do the depth or speed of the water justice
The water went completely around our neighbors house (and his neighbors as well)
and if you could look to the right it would broaden out to lap at our driveway
and garage.

This just shows how the water flooded back up the street to the base of our
driveway.
