It says everything about this moment, most of all love. And second, you have convinced me that grandchildren are heaven on earth, and I hope to be as lucky as you in our togetherness, when it actually happens. Levon looks overjoyed by his dress, and it looks breezy and comfy too. And August's legs are getting very long! And I was going to say that Maggie is a budding entomologist (i had to ask the man who the people are who study bugs). What a joyous post. You have left me smiling this morning.37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-62928669492322029662020-07-07T09:07:55.873-04:002020-07-07T09:07:55.873-04:00POCKETS!
