The weather, though hottttt, has been pretty the last few days. Jason got a hankering for fresh lemonade and, as there is a lemon tree across from our yard, he made some. To celebrate the occasion, because as many of you know Jason would rather be locked up in stocks than step a toenail into the kitchen, I spread a sheet out onto the grass beside our house, a small blanket on top of that for extra softness for the Wee, and we sipped away al fresco. A bright, slightly damaged butterfly perched itself next to us and we admired it. I was able to take a few successful pictures of Little Piece of Sunshine and Luka Leon before he tried to reach over and destroy her. Thankfully I caught his hand in time. My instincs are already getting some good practice. *wink*
And in even more exciting news, Luka sits up on his own now! He has been doing this for about a week and a half and we are loving this new trick. Sit up on his own = he can play easier and entertain himself longer now which means I can get more stuff done while he is still having a blast. Oh the possibilities of a new view point in life! He can see more. Wheeee!!!
Peek-a-boo is a hilarious game too, apparently. I have been hiding behind a door and popping out at him and he giggles and belly laughs in delight. One fine day when we finally are able to get high speed internet, I will upload some videos...sigh...
Our turquoise house. Yes. Turquoise.
Like our lemon grass? It makes the best fresh tea.
Imagine the sound he was making, something like a low raspy voiced aoaoaoaoa.
We later went for a stroll and I transported LPS to the stroller. She rode with Luka almost all the way to the beach, where we went to check out a festival that was going on.
Mah Boys. I heart them.

Q, thanks for the wonderful updates...makes us wish we were there. However, the pics and thots go a long way to quench that longing in our hearts.
Pray for me...I'm tired of PAIN!!!
Love, Dad
Me, too. Can't wait to see you all at Thanksgiving.
Hey Sarah, I saw that you have a lemon grass plant! It's really great for cooking, specially for marinating fish and seafood.
Just blend the lemon grass with olive oil, salt + pepper, and a few drops of lemon juice, strain it and if its too thick just add a bit of water, and done! So if you have tilapia or shrimp, just dip it in the mix for a few minutes, and cook any way you like. It tastes much better if its grilled. Hope you enjoy it. :)
