My boys

 Philip wore his cowboy boots with shorts to piano lesson!

Samuel waited for his lesson by reading his DK Vietnam War book he got from the library at school.

Neat kids . . . .   :)

Phil and Mary stopped by to visit.  I thought they looked sweet walking to the car holding hands.  I love my everyday life here.
