Absent.

For Oh-so-many-reasons-none-of-which-are-an-excuse. Except maybe the stomach flu. Definitely an excuse.

Moving on...

Summer is in full swing here in the Corn state. "What's that?" you say, "Summer??? But it's spring!?" Oh no. Not here at the Crossroads of America. Here it's 84 degrees outside, humid and so sticky even Homer begged me turn on the AC. Which, of course, I did, only because he asked me nicely. : ) So Sesame enjoyed some romping time in her sleeveless dress from YiaYia in the backyard.

What wonderful times. We picked freshly mowed grass, blew dandelions and jumped because we could. I love 15 months. : )

Then it was time to get to work.

I promise. We aren't the same person. Really. We're not. ; )

Then came reading time.

I might also add that Daddy caught the reading in the chair adorableness. : ) Love.

Oh and if the previous photo wasn't enough to prove we're mother and daughter this one might sway you into belief.

Oh yeah. We're awesome. : )

All in all and awesome day sans illness and much play. : ) Gotta love stayin' at home with the babe. : )
