Bonus photos



All photos by Jaci Barnwell

A couple of weeks back I got an email from someone I don't know who'd been up at the school with her own kids taking photos of a class Easter Egg Hunt.  She graciously stuck around and took some other photos of various kids.  John was among them.  In fact, she took several.  So sweet of her to share!  He was curious and so he asked her name and introduced himself.  Then he proceeded to give her a bear hug, which totally won her over.  She told me later in an email that she really thinks he'll be a "very successful politician."  Maybe even President, she suggested.  Really?  I'm hoping not.  I'm pretty sure this blog will ruin his chances!

Sprinkle(r), sprinkle(r)

Don't fall over!  These photos are from TODAY!


  
Is it wrong that my son only now is learning about playing in the sprinkler?



Clothes, shoes and all!  With permission!  He loved it!  It was warm here this evening with a nice breeze.  Just enough to convince him that going inside wasn't such a bad idea when it was time for a real bath!


I'll just need to remember this trick later this summer when boredom sets in... and the grass is crying out for water.

Worth the wait?

A whole week!  These photos are a whole week old!  I'm not doing so good at keeping up these days.  But I did work on these photos a bit more than normal.  Because I liked them.  A lot!


 Daddy decided that the pear trees in the back needed trimming after he listened to them scratch the roof just about all night long the night before.  It was case of hoping for rain but not getting any.  So while Daddy cut the limbs off, John's job was to move them to a pile.  And he was real good at it!


Lately, we've seen this a lot.  Not the upside down part.  The winking!  He's using it on everyone.  His teachers.  Girls in class (whom I hear have also been the recipient of kisses on the lips!). Twenty-something's at an adjacent table in a restaurant:  Barbara was dying laughing when she caught sight of him flirting with those girls.  (Daddy was clueless because he didn't realize that John was winking at them.)  Even me while I was trying to discipline him across the breakfast or lunch table one day.  He certainly knows how to use his CUTE!

 
As we were playing around, I thought about a photo I recently ran across of John in the grass.  So I thought I'd get an updated one.  This one was cute, but missing the catchlights.  So I turned him around and was much happier with the results.


He tolerated me as long as he could (much longer than I expected!) and then he had to pull out the silly face, which led to the laughing!  Be sure to check out the WebAlbums.  Lots more photos of us hanging out in the backyard on that beautiful spring evening!
