We spent Saturday night camped out in our friend's yard. It was a wonderful time together on Saturday afternoon and then a night of gentle rain and a little thunder and lightning.
The rain canceled our Sunday hike plans but that meant spending more time chatting with our friends about sustainable living, healthy eating, organic farming, ending world hunger, city living, Jesus for President and a whole bunch of other stuff. All while monitoring the activities of 11 children plus a few neighbor kids. Ah, the chaos and community of the Russell-Hogan (two non-related families sharing one small roof, not a hyphenated family name) household.
During the course of the weekend Laurent lost his third tooth. I couldn't resist snapping pics of all three of my kiddos smiling faces. Their smiles are certainly genuine. They love all the perks of visiting the Russell-Hogan community; all the playmates and friends, yard space, ducks, chicks, turkeys, chickens, dogs, fireflies, lizard and the neighbor's pool.
Just love seeing my happy grand-kids with those smiles and bright eyes. Please tell Laurent to remind Nana and Papa to pay up for all those missing teeth when we see him next!
