Rhine Photography

Our friends, Dan & Julie Rhine, are photographers. They were having a special promotion in June. Pretty soon we should have all of the photos, but here are a few "teasers". If you would like to see a few more, visit their blog. We had so much fun and can't wait to see more ourselves!

Magic Morning Delight

This morning we dropped Robbie off to spend the night at his Nana and Pop's house and swung by Magic Morning Bakery on the way home. I love this little bakery. We bought a dozen smiley face cookies and a few other sweets. Yummy yummy yummy! A few days ago one of my friends from high school posted a picture of a box of smiley face cookies on her facebook page. My mouth watered and I was so excited to fill this craving!

Hitty Amelia had fun at the bakery, too. To read more about it, check out the Hitty Travel Doll blog using the link at the right or go to www.hittytraveldoll.com

Fun at the Park

I love my son. He is adorable. He's fun. He's a ham & a comedian. He's quick to take on daring adventures and finds fun nearly everywhere he looks.

However.

He is EXHAUSTING some times! So much energy! Wow! So today, I decided to take him to a nearby playground. He was thrilled to get out and start running around. When I tested the playground equipment, though, OUCH! You could have fried an egg on the slide and burned your biscuits on the swing. Trying to avoid the tantrum I knew would come after giving my toddler a taste of sweet freedom and then strapping him back into the carseat, I had him carefully put his hand on the slide and said "hot". He pulled his hand back and replied "hot". I bent down and explained to him that it was too hot to play here and that if he got back in the car I would take him to the park across town. "Park? Park!" And wouldn't you know it, he marched back to the car and got in with no problems. (Whew)

When we got to the park, Robbie was so excited that he spent the first ten minutes running to and fro just checking things out. He climbed towers and went down slides. He swang in a toddler swing and then again in a big boy swing. He ran and climbed and jumped and sweated buckets.

Here we are next to the creek. This is the response I got when he started waving "bye bye" to the water. I asked him where the water went... I guess he didn't know!

We had a blast playing. This is my favorite picture of the day. We were playing peekaboo on some of the playground equipment. I mean, I know I'm biased, but isn't he just the cutest little thing!?!
