This blog is no longer being updated, I have maxed out on pictures:(  For those of you who care we are HERE! 

  Maggie.

On Monday Jackson found out about doggie heaven.

That is where she went.

She was the grandparents dog and Jackaroo loved her.

It didn't get much better than the Mags.

She was a delight, the perfect dog for the Lange family.

We will miss her.

Today we went to the library.

The first book Jackson chose caught me off guard.

However, it was perfect.

 Tonight we read it five times.
I gave it my all and tried to keep in any tears that were trying to surface.

I failed, greatly.

I love his M.

That M makes my heart squeeze.

Temps today were well into the 90's.

I packed swim trunks, treats, and boogie boards.

 I picked my boy up from school and headed straight for the beach.

Never has it felt so good.

He went one time on his boogie board and loved it.

I, did not.

With waves like these,

my protective mommy instincts stepped right up and kept me out in the water,

side by side, not once taking my eye off him.

Waves in Avila are usually calm.

Perfect for little people.

Today, they were feisty.
AND OH,

how we know mother nature can be feisty.

I liked photographing those feisty waves.

Of course, only when my boy was out of the water and enjoying something else.

Typical fall weather

Sunny days,
perfect for slipping on a slide after school.

Tomorrow I will delightfully run twelve miles.
Three miles for every drumstick I indulged in over the weekend.

My crew and I are currently recovering from junk food overload and late night laughing.
