Arredondo Day Out

On Saturday, May 17th we decided to take a little outing to the local flea market where local farmers, vendors, book sellers, antique/junk dealers...you name it...all get together once a month for what is called "Third Monday Trade Days". It was just fun to get out on a sunny day to walk around and look at interesting things. Gilbert and Isaac especially enjoyed an area where dog breeders bring in their new puppies for sale. In these pictures Isaac squints at the camera from under his little hat and then on the way home, falls asleep in the back seat (how about those cute little sandals!...Gil calls them "Piggie Holders") and Daddy looks over us from the rear view mirror up front. --Katie

Isaac at 6 Months

Well it's May 1st and our little man is now 6 months old! We stopped by a local park on a beautiful Sunday to snap an informal family picture to mark that Isaac is now half a year old. He is such a lovable little boy! Here is another shot of him playing on one of the blankets Grandma Garner made for him. As you can see he has turned himself around with his back to his toys because he becomes fascinated by the texture, color and feel of his brightly embroidered name at the opposite corner of the blanket. --Katie

Spring in Our Front Yard

Gil and I are really please with how our yard is turning out this year. Especially our robust roses. They blossom in profusion with multiple roses at the end of each stem. Combined with some nice bright greens in our holly and boxwoods, and accenting tulips and marigolds makes a colorful screen of flora for our front porch. --Katie
