Taylor is learning her alphabet. Here she's using a stick to point out the letter "A" her mom drew on the sidewalk. (Click on Taylor's picture to see the enlarged version.)

Then we moved to the swing set.

At the beginning of summer, Taylor wasn't tall enough to reach the rings.

Now it's a piece of cake.

Charlie pretty much still drives in reverse:

It's just a coincidence that he's looking that way, too.

  Judge this picture by the smile, not the lighting. (Candid shots grabbed from video can't always be perfect. Don't believe "automatic" exposure!)

Now Taylor's getting down to serious business. Charlie's the navigator perhaps?

Smiles. Hugs. Cool temperatures with sunshine. Life is good!
