If you aren't these children's relatives, please excuse this post... for I am showing the grandmother's (primarily) the 2009 School Photographs... xoxo the oldest... extremely smart, intuitive and sensitive... (in a manly way;)

and then the first little lady, patient and caring, littlest's "little mama"...

and the second boy, warmth of the home...

the youngest lady of the house, and our pure sunshine...

"forlorn" is his nickname, but hilariously nonstop pure enjoyment...

much better in "little mama's" arms...

all pictures were taken "on the fly" as we said goodbye to their father and 'warmth of the home' on a canoe trip... and instead of all the staging and 'stuff' I did last year... much more relaxed and 'natural'... have a wonderful weekend!!! ~don't let anyone leave you today without a smile on their face~
