just a quiet morning at the park . . .

Taking a lakeside stroll . . .

watching the workers . . .

These guys reminded us of The Ugly Duckling.  They looked like they were getting along swimmingly though . . .

bookmarks for the nanas

Ivo loved making these little felt bookmarks for both of his sweet Nanas. He picked out the colors and the stiches and used the foot pedal while I did the needle threading and the steering.  He said, "Hey we're doing teamwork Mom."

Bookmark

We tried to think of a little pun to write in the Mother's Day cards, Josh came up with a few:

For a Nana who's really on the "mark"

For a Nana with a special "place" in our lives

And I thought of one too, sort of a good fit for both of our moms: For a special Nana who probably needs this because she can't go more than three or four pages without being interrupted by someone who needs something from her . . . a bookmark for you!!
