While the mom was away...

...the kids will play. Joy is at church tonight with Wesley. After extra buttery mac and cheese, Luke and Allie joined me on a sunset walk at the top of the street...As you can see, she earned three stickers at the doctor's office today after two separate shots. [Joy here. I was so proud of Allie today. She was so brave. She knew Wesley was going to get a shot and when she realized she also would be getting not one but TWO... well she was NOT very excited. And although it hurt- she looked rather pale- she did not cry which surprised me. I told her it was ok if she wanted/needed to cry. I think she was pretty proud of herself that she didn't. Getting in the car she told me it didn't even hurt. She was proud of earning 3 stickers for her bravery.]
Mt. Taylor in the distance... [Aunt Linda- I have wanted to get this shot for you. You can see the horizon (horizontal) and a sunset. Jason took this from the top of our street. So I dedicate this sunset to you. Wish you could be here to see it for yourself. I guess I wasn't there for this one either but you know what I mean.]
Wearing mom's socks...
There were tons of gnats and Mr. Luke usually had 5 or so on his face. So with gravel in the sandals, our three hour tour had to be cut short.Here is a shot of Wesley just because we miss him...
