I am so sorry! To all of the faithful readers I have neglected you terribly. I know it is no fun to go to a favorite blog time after time to see no activity on it. I have just been so busy. And I will be honest...it is not easy to sit here and work this blog site. Seems something always happens to slow down progress.
Okay....I am done giving excuses. The above picture was taken a few days ago. I was getting the last of the seedlings into the garden. And here is my little helper with a leek. I just knew that these little hands needed to be captured in a picture. And I just love that these little hands still need my help.
My nephew Haden is visiting from Texas for a month. We had him and Jacqueline for a couple nights this weekend. He was wanting to see the beach so we took a drive to Lincoln City yesterday. Who knew it was also the Kite Festival day? I am never going again on Kite Festival day! What a mad house!!! But it was a great day weather wise and the kids did love the kites. One attacked us! Nothing stranger than being run into by a 30 or so foot long yellow kite! So here are some pictures of our day.

Their various activities on the way to the beach.
Haden and Liam did a lot of bonding. The were so sweet together.
Cousins.....
I know it looks like it was cold and drizzly. But it was quite warm and the wind wasn't very strong. No rain at all. A wave pushed Liam right off his feet and he was drenched but not shivering at all. Good thing Haden was there to rescue him...I was running for shore to avoid getting wet. Some kind of mother I am!
So that was what kept me away from the computer on Saturday.
I will now leave you with a Liamism: While in Lincoln City we ate lunch at a Chinese restaurant per Haden's request. Liam ordered a hanaburger and fries. After he finished his fries he started on the hanaburger. He pulled a sesame seed off the top of the bun and asked....:mommy, if we plant this will it grow a hanaburger?"
Oh what a precious little mind!
