P52 - Week 15

Late again. Sick this time. But no time for apologies. Instead, we'll jump right to the photos:



Let me introduce you to the Splash Brothers. :+) This is my boy and his best bud. And after a week of unseasonably warm (even by Texas standards) weather, they convinced me that their Friday afternoon should be spent jumping through the sprinkler, dodging water bombs, and slurping frozen treats. How could I say no? Obviously, I couldn't.

They did learn that the 30 mph wind kept them shivering more than they would like, despite the balmy air temperature. And all too soon, we retired inside for popcorn, dry clothes, and video games.

It was a nice way to celebrate the season though. Spring is ever so short in these parts and it was nice to be outside, soaking in the vitamin D, and not yet collapsing from heat exhaustion.

Happy Spring, Splash Brothers!

This week's theme at I *heart* Faces is play. The very first photo I thought of when reading the theme was this one:



This is my little dude, a few years back, when his favorite thing in the whole wide world was to be a Super Hero. The play was non stop, as was the flow of his imagination. It didn't matter if he was saving the world from some imagined terror or just rescuing me from the daily doldrums, Super Dude was always on the job, 24/7/365. MY HERO!

I look at this photo and I realize that a part of me will ALWAYS see this face when I think of my boy. He's much bigger now and has different avenues for his imagination, but he's still my favorite Super and he's STILL rescuing me on a daily basis ... sometimes from the blues, sometimes from the pile of work in my in-box, and sometimes even from the chores waiting to be done (he's quite the little helper, let me tell ya).

Thank you Super Dude. Now and always.

Now ... let's all fly over to and see who else is playing today!
