Big Plans

We had Big Plans with our good friend the Small Boy yesterday afternoon.

We were going to Field, we were going to play Ball, we were going to have ourselves a Time.

Our good friend the Small Boy, however, had other plans.

He doesn't go in for that whole napping-at-an-appointed time business. No, he's more into the napping-when-he's supposed-to-be-Fielding school of thought. The little rascal.

So we made do with slightly bigger but no less adorable friends.

Well, one is still kind of small . . .

. . . not as small as she used to be . . . (can you stand it?)

. . . but just as fun and sassy and interesting and hilarious as she always has been. And adorable.

We had Jacquie with us in a little rectangle . . .

. . . and I'm pretty sure some random menfolk down below tending to the fire . . .

. . . but mostly we sat on the deck and basked in the sun and talked about all the things and drank all the bubbly and had ourselves our own Time . . .

. . . but man, did we miss our good friend the Small Boy. And man, do we miss our good friends his spectacular moms.

We need to make more Big Plans.
