Friday With Ashton and Georgi

I shared a great part of my day with Ashton and Georgi.

We made paths in the pine trees, played church, played the piano and sang, had lunch together, ran/walked around the house, etc., etc., etc.

They played in the tent, rode bike & trike, threw rocks in the pond, wanted to jump on the bed, hid behind my design wall, etc., etc., etc.

I read stories to them, made them a snack, helped them with their squabbles, sewed on Talya’s quilt in between times, etc., etc., etc.
