The cows are from the farm up the road. I took photos of them today for my Dad. He raised cows when he was younger, he even built a barn when he was 15 years old. It still stands today. He builds things to last. Anyway he had quite the day so this photo is for him.
There are also horses up there but they are on another farm. Each day when I come home and see the sun setting and looking awesome I want to go up to the farms to see if there are any horses or cows out because I love taking shots of them. Here is one of a horse from up on the farms.
When I got home Eva and my mom and Allison were out in the driveway. Eva was wearing the cutest new jacket that she got from Mimi. So we played “chase” around the driveway. Eva likes “chase” especially when we play it around the house, she’s not that fast yet so we have to “run” slower. I run around one side of the bed and duck down and hide, then she comes around the side of the bed and finds me. I jump up and roll across the bed and hide on the other side. She giggles like crazy and runs around the other side of the bed and I do it again. I do this till I am to tired to do it anymore. It is so cute when she says “chase”.
Another thing that makes Eva giggle are dolphins. She went to Sea World with our friend Mo when we were at IZEAFest last year. I’m hoping that Eva gets a chance to get to go to SeaWorld again soon. And to help ensure that I am entering the contest at http://www.ted.me/manta.

Eva has really enjoyed the piano at Memere’s house so today when we visiting Fr. Dave at the rectory we saw that he also had a piano. Or rather, Eva saw Fr. Dave’s piano and she kept saying “puh, puh” which is her word for piano. She loves playing it so she went towards it. I scooped her up so she wouldn’t go over to it.
Later as we were talking to Fr. Dave my mom mentioned that Eva like to play with her piano. The piano itself is out of tune and Fr. Dave said that his was as well. After that Eva was getting ancy so she walked towards the piano room. I followed her and propped her up on the stool and took a few shots as she played with the keys. She was very careful not to bang on the keys too. Well as careful as a 16 month old can be. Really, she actually uses her fingers and not her entire palm or fist.
I also talked to Fr. Dave about the book Combinations by Ed Gerety. I just bought my Church a copy of the book so that the 8th Grade class of the school that is associated with the church Saint Mary Sacred Heart (My grade School) can use it with an 8th grade retreat. I love the book and the message and paying it forward and sharing it has become very fun for me especially when people enjoy the book.
Speaking of enjoying things, Allison made spaghetti squash for dinner tonight along with her mom’s recipe for meatballs and sauce. It was delicious! And spaghetti squash won’t spike my sugar like pasta. Nice. And if you are wondering what Spaghetti Squash is, it is really squash that when cooked is stripped apart and resembles spaghetti and with a little sauce it is really tasty.
