quickie shots

Freezing cold photos, done without much in the way of thought, of the cousins and mine today, in the Cabo Verde shirts mom's mission president had sent.  Still having focus issues.  But aren't those cousins the cutest?  Wish I were closer to be a better auntie, that's for sure.  So fun to be here.

Long day tomorrow and Tuesday, so will see you again with bells on in a couple of days.

Nighters!

Afterwhich, the boyo realizes that he's quite far from the ground after all, and that he can't get down by himself.  Scared cries ensue, but Uncle Les races to the rescue, and soon those little feet are planted once again on terra firma, to the relief of both himself AND his mother!
