From takeout from a hole-in-the-wall Chinese place, to Christopher's graduation, I can't even tell you what a wonderful time we had while we were in San Jose. The Mitchell side of the family was just thrilled to be together, and we really had a near-perfect trip. We also learned that Maile would be more than at home on a hobby farm. Or a real farm. (Here's where I whine, for the millionth time, about the fact that our zip code isn't zoned for chickens. Or goats. Or anything farmy.)
I can't wait to share more of our trip with you! But for now, I leave you with this thought: that third photo? Both of Maile's grandmothers give her that same look. I love it so, so, heart-exploding much.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Leah!
DeleteAs a farm girl, I have to say I'm so happy to hear M likes the critters.
ReplyDeleteCritters bring such joy to people.
And may I say she is so stinking cute. LOVE her purple shoes. SIGH.
What a beautiful young girl she is turning into...
Happy long weekend from CANADA!
I couldn't agree more, Sandra! Critters bring such joy to people. Even though we live in suburbia, we have a cat, two dogs, and now -- two frogs! We are absolutely an animal-loving family. :)
DeleteHappy Canada Day, my friend!
aw! she's growing up so much!
ReplyDeleteand that's so wild that you're not zoned for farm animals..i never even considered that that could be a possibility!
She is! It's so bittersweet.
DeleteHaha! I guess I didn't either, until we moved to the 'burbs. Now we know!
