Grandma Pilulaw Visits!

We have enjoyed having Grandma here with us for the past week. It has all gone too fast and Dylan asked her tonight if she was going to come back to visit again. The boys have enjoyed having her here, and she has been delighted spending time with her grandsons. Life is indeed grand and wonderful.

Max in Boots, Dylan in Water!

Dylan is taking swimming lessons at the Elk Grove Racquet Club, and is in his second session. He loves them and is doing really well with getting himself comfortable in the water - a big change from just a couple weeks ago.

Max loves boots. He puts them on, he takes them off. He wears them and tromps along in them.

There you are!

The Blues Brothers!

Elwood: It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. 
Jake: Hit it. 


OK, so no cigarettes and we are a lot farther from the Windy City than 106 miles,  and it's not dark... But hey they got the sunglasses on and they're looking mighty cool.

Train Ride in Old Sac!

We took the boys on a train ride last weekend in Old Sacramento, along with their cousins and Aunt Diane and Uncle Lou. It was a grand ol' time, with a conductor ("Keep your heads inside - we don't want to litter the track!"), the old-timey RR car we were in rocking to and fro, and tons of train whistling from the old steam engine.
