  2. Vanessa stole my comment! This is too adorable. But, given the weather of late, I'd venture to say they're not puddle jumping in Houston (puddles zren't big enough) or in San Antonio (there are no puddles, unless you count those formed by my neighbor's sprinkler!).

    Chiqui told me to tell you that she is just a little, cute, lovebird. No hard feelings ok? Peep! ;o)

  23. Now THIS, this is the silver lining in that raincloud. What a beautiful family. Not even the rain can dampen their spirits. Little ones always like the puddles, don't they? They must seem like little lakes to them. :) Beautiful background, beautiful illo. I noticed the tag said Greeting Cards -- is this, by chance, could it be??? How wonderful!
