I Can Ride My Bike!


Herm really looks forward to Jacob's visits. I look forward to them too, but Herm can hardly wait for him to arrive. The man loves him with giant love, and they do boy things together.

As usual, the girls went to lunch, and then a little shopping was in order for Mamaw. Victoria's Secret is a religious experience for her. She was fitted for a new undergarment. Mom got a few new things also. Why not? She was there and there were things to be bought. What else can a girl do?

While we were gone, Jacob and Herm caught a big fish and lots of minnows, and two blue crabs that were hard shells. I think the minnow trap that we got Jacob for his birthday was a good investment. It has already paid for itself in fun. Mr. M. got into the act too, getting Herm to bring his tackle box upstairs, he shared some of his tackle with Jacob.

Jacob had a big surprise for us. He brought his bike with him, and showed us how well he could ride it. He was fantastic. Look out Lance Armstrong!

It was another great, fun filled day. They had to leave before five because Jacob goes to kindergarten now. He has to go to bed early so he can get up early in the morning to catch the big, yellow bus and ride three blocks to his school.

Herman told me that Jacob said, "Herman, I think this is the best day ever. We caught a big fish and two crabs.

We love you, Jacob!

Bek and Jacob's Snowshoe Trip

I have no names for these lovely little girls. I know Patsy gave them to me while we were talking on the phone. Herman wrote them down, but now we can't find the obscure scrap of paper on which he wrote them. Bek or Patsy, please, leave the info. in the comment option. Thanks. I think the mommy is Amy and one of the little girls is Emma. Just a guess.

Arrival!
We're staying here.The view!The lodge?We're posing now, in our snowsuits, to demonstrate how cute we really are, and that we're ready for SNOW.
Don't mind me. I think I'll just lie here for awhile.Ready for fun!This picture is the definition of precious. Could it be any cuter? NO!



Two pretty girls about to hit the slopes.
Two even prettier girls about to hit the slopes. Which one is in pink and which one is in blue? Somebody tell me.
Two pretty girls at the end of a long day on the slopes, looking for men. Where are the kids, you may well ask? They drugged them and left them snoozing, unattended, in the cabin while they lasciviously trolled the lodge. You have to admit, they are extra-special cute in this photo.

A Britney Spears Moment


Jacob's first experience behind the wheel, driving through the peach orchards. Patsy called it a "Britney Spears moment." He's so proud of himself in the second photo. I don't know how proud Bek will be when he's 16 and takes her brand new BMW for a joy ride. I have to say, Herman looks a little proud too. What a pair!
