We also played Mexican Train, and sometimes the games became very creative. |

We also had loads of fun with two brothers -- constant laughs and motion! |

He does like his mother, though. And he likes walks. And ducks. |

Jeff is the king of walks. Anytime I hinted I'd enjoy getting outside with the kids, he was there for me. |

Of course, we never walked alone. This picture, btw, was taken by Big Sister, who loved experimenting with my camera. |

If there's a definition of a perfect night, it was last night on our walk, at sunset, with ducks, kids, frozen hot dog buns, Sam and Jeff's families, and lots of giggles. |
