Summer

The hillside overlooking Mason's day care is covered in these gorgeous bright-purple flowers. I think it means Summer is on its way. And I am ready!

Man's (and child's) Best Friend

When we first brought Mason home, our dog Lila, a German Shorthaired Pointer, thought he was just a temporary addition to our family. And ever since then, she's tolerated his tail pulling and rough-housing with mere disinterest. She's always been friendly but hasn't actually wanted to PLAY with him... until now. I think they are going to be great friends.
