Today's Toby

Locust Grove painted their fence and we started dressing more casually (must be because we added a tiny person - who is officially 2 - to the mix).

The end of August was made for sitting on the porch. 

Not nearly as fancy, but still lots of fun.

This tree was meant for smooching. Pretty sure.

There were a few less people in attendance for this dance, but a lovely time was had by all. If you're getting this post by email, click on the post title to view the video.

Back at Locust Grove, 5 years later, with significantly less standing around (and significantly more goldfish crackers).

Slowing down to savor the good things in life. (Special thanks to Jessie for the great photos.)

Holding hands to cross the street.  Riding in the boat. Learning about Blipi. Wondering when Mom and Dad will get me my own tablet. Watching a movie.  Can't get enough. 

Just because I can't quite see out the windshield, doesn't mean I shouldn't be driving the boat.

Don't pretend you don't know how fast you were going, Dad.

When the pep talk you give yourself in the mirror is so good you can't wait to get out there and get started.

Warning: cute nugget being toted through Manhattan. Be prepared to smile and wave.

The only thing better than deesaclating is escalating. And then deesaclating. And then escalating. How about we just do this all day? If you're getting this post by email, click on the post title to view the email.

These card things are great! I just pick out all the stuff I want and wave the card around and go about my business. 

I don't have a license, but I drive very well.

If I sit very still, they'll think I'm one of them. Yadda yadda, yadda yadda. Mom, I think it's working!

Welcome! We've got all the same great food at a whole new location.  When you're here, you're like family.  Will that be 3 orders of the special or just 2?

Look Uncle Scott, another station! If you're not looking you could miss it. There is goes. I tried to tell him.

Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Paradine for coming to visit! Great pictures Grandma! Grandpa, I already saw those on Grandma's phone.
