"Ant" Carrie........Sweet Sound to my ears.....

Let me explain......see, first you must drop the u in the title 
"Aunt" because where this little boy is raised you pronounce it "Annnt Carrie".  I hope you can catch that because to my ears it was the sweetest sound.  I was raised in the South, and I used to speak just like this and still can if I am around another Georgian.  However, as sweet as the sound was, it was even sweeter to spend time with my nephew.  What a cutie!  

The way our families have been arranged, with age gaps in siblings, and Mark and I not able to have our children "younger."  The children of our families have kind of straggled along, and then distance always plays a part on how much you can get to see one another.  So, when my little nephew runs in and says, " Annnnt, Carrie."  It makes my heart skip a beat :-)  

He and Jon are only a few years apart.  They are both very creative and love to play.  They had so much fun, and I had just as much fun watching them.  Here are a few pic's.....I have to laugh because it looks just like my brother and I when we were little, only reverse the height, after all, he was older :-)))  

Enjoy.....

My mom's yard is a labor of love!  Just beautiful. 


This tree is the special meeting place for youngin's.

To enter a child's world of play is a special privilege indeed!
I am thankful to have been invited.
