Day Six :: At the park

 
 
I love how Burke's tongue plays an integral part in these photos = )
If it seems like we spend an inordinate amount of time at the park, we do. It's less than 1/2 mile from the house and a nice walk. At times even Burke walked home instead of riding in the stroller. What a champ!

Day Five :: Flowers and Family

We had a bit of free time today so went to our favorite haunt to take photos of flowers, Alice Keck Park.
Amazing square block garden to always find something in bloom.
 
 Before dinner, Blake with smile while sleeping and then alert. Burke in background patiently awaiting his meal.
 
Papa Sneed checks to see how to work the iPad from pro Burke. Once he got the hang of it, they were both immersed in their separate screens.

First Photo with Blake

We left Katy Wednesday afternoon, 13 February, and pulled in to Santa Barbara early Friday afternoon, 15 February (1600 miles). We were on a mission to see our newest grandson, Blake Adams, Burke's younger brother born a week ago 6 February.

Here's what kept me busy while we were on the road.


Ahhhh, such joy at holding the little fella
Annemarie trying to get a photo of Brett's parents "Ma" and "Pa" with the boys before they left. They stayed until we got here so as to not leave them all without any help for any period of time.
