Picture Perfect Monday

I love vincas/periwinkles. They're just about the only flowers that are able to thrive in this heat. They've grown so much in the past month or so. Today, especially late this afternoon, it was actually comfortable outside. Jojo was able to go out for a few minutes. It has not been easy getting him away from his computer!

Glorious Thursday

It's a glorious day, because it's the end of my work week and I don't have to go out in this heat unless I want to. Our weather man showed the high temps in the country today, and our area - north and central Louisiana got everybody beat at 107 degrees! But somehow, yesterday at 101 degrees was a lot hotter and more suffocating than today. It must be the humidity.

Solution to the heat? $9 slip 'n slide from Wal-mart!

After Jojo got bathed/dressed, it was time to say Good Night to Daddy's new flower bed.
And because it's Thursday, Jojo gets to sleep with Mommy in the big bed.

I just read on the SMASpace that a SMA child had the swine flu. I was not very concerned about the swine flu affecting us before, but reading about a child like Jojo being afflicted with it just brought the matter closer to home. We're praying for a quick recovery for the little girl, and that nobody else gets it.

Jojo Beating the Heat

After Brady and I finished "sliding" Jojo back and forth on the slip 'n slide, Jojo lounged on his old shower chair and just enjoyed the water. He had a great time, although the pics above didn't capture his smile. We told him to keep his mouth closed so water wouldn't get in.
