What Makes A Family

"It is not flesh and blood,
but the heart
 that makes family" ~anon
          

Andre and Angelo
two young men that have been
a part of the family for quite a few years.

Sons of the heart...
They are both living in Southwest Florida,
with school (Medical Assistant programs and beyond)
and raising children their life right now.

And I got a pleasant unexpected
visit from them last night
and six more victims of the lens were at my mercy...

So after a quick breakfast since our time was limited...
David
Tara
 Lil Lo

And some wrestling with Tio Dre...

It was outside to do some exploring
and to get a little football in...
One, two, three, hike!

First there was crab hunting...

And success...

With cornflower blue
flowers and eyes in abundance...

Next we had some future Gators (per Lil Lol) doing their thing...

And Gators-in-their-dreams doing their thing.

Then there was the GQ photo shoot...
Angelo
Andre

Some tender moments...

And catching Sherri unawares...
(the woman keeping Andre on his toes)


All within an hours time
this morning before sending them
on their way
 and until I get my next call,
"Hey, can we come spend the night?"

"Of Course!"

Love the quote! And I agree with Mom - it looks like a lot of fun. Especially with crab hunting : )
