~ Capturing the context of contentment in everyday life ~
I feel like I have hardly posted on the blog lately and I missed last week’s {p, h, f, r} so this one is going to be extra long! For those of you that follow me on Instagram, you have already seen these photos but I’ll post them anyway for those who don’t.
By the way, if you don’t have a smartphone (I break into hives just thinking about it) and you want to follow people on Instagram, you can see their photos online at web.stagram.com. Here is the link for my page: http://web.stagram.com/n/mamabee04/ I’ll put a link in the side bar.

If you are ever visiting the central coast of Cali, make sure that you visit Pacific Grove, particularly Lover’s Point. Along the Monterey Bay Trail you’ll find views of the ocean like this.
You’ll also find these gorgeous patches of color as the flowers bloom.
If you are afraid of the California earthquakes and tsunamis that may result, don’t worry. There are directions posted.

This photo makes me incredibly happy. I love the way Andrew takes his “big brother” role seriously and looks out for John-Paul.
This little guy just makes me happy. Period. (Well, when he’s not driving me nuts.)

Matthew has a new way to relax now. He loves to climb into my laundry basket and make himself comfortable. His favorite days are when I take warm towels out of the dryer. He literally rests his head on them and sighs.
Here he is nice and contented now.
Soon, Andrew wanted to join in on the fun. (Good thing JP didn’t see or they’d really be squished in there.)

Last week I mentioned that Bella’s fish Francis died. Over the weekend she picked out a new fish. Meet “Spike.”
Andrew wanted his own pet too so he picked out a fish as well. He loves the color blue and immediately chose this guy since he looked so blue in his little cup, although when you view him in bright light he looks completely different. it’s the craziest thing. Meet “Rocky.”

We found this great tank that could house two Bettas. I loved it since I’d only have to clean one tank. That is, I loved it until we put the fish together!
The fish lived up to their names and they kept fighting with each other through the barrier. I was getting flashbacks of “West Side Story” as the rival gangs would take a swipe at each other then dance around. Finally Rocky managed to squeeze himself though a small crevice and invaded Spike’s turf. So much for the Rodney King motto “Can’t we all just get along?” It was back to the pet store so the hotheads could each have their own tank. (Yay, more clean up for me.)

Okay, I still have all the photos from our walk on Memorial Day so I am going to post those as a separate post so this won’t be ridiculously long. You can view those photos here.
