These pictures are from our last weekend's Chinese playgroup at the Pumpkin Patch. Peyton had a great time in the jumper! She went in twice. She "almost" went for a pony ride, but was too scared, so daddy had to get her. She also loved the petting zoo, but her favorite "animal" was a little bug she spotted on the railing. She's such a little cutie!

In Memory of Michael Jones

We lost a dear friend last week to cancer. Words can't describe how much we will miss Mike. He was so full of life, and such a joy to be around. He was truly one of the most selfless people we have met. Till we meet again Mike.

To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty;
to find the best in others;
to leave the world a bit better
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch,
or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.

We'll I thought it time to upload some pictures of Peyton. Here are some pictures of her making banana bread with daddy. I also snapped one of her on her "keyboard" (she'll be blogging soon I'm sure:). We also went to the LA County Fair and had a great time. Peyton got to see all the farm animals, and mommy and daddy got to see the Home and Garden show!
