Summer Memories on a Rainy Day

The other day, my little guy got nostalgic for his summer days spent in the Azores..

While driving to preschool, out of no where, Nicholas blurted out:

"Mommy, I miss Miguel.  I want to feed the birds again with Miguel."

I looked back in my rear view mirror, and there was Nicholas staring at the rain from the backseat of the car, with a sad look on his face.

"Remember the birds, mommy?"

"Yes, Nicholas, I remember."

"Can we go see Miguel and feed the birds popcorn again?"

"Sure Nicholas, one day we will."

Before I forget, here are the pictures we took that day.  They were taken at the city park in Angra do Heroismo, Terceira. 

Popcorn..yummy!!

Nicholas and Miguel, friends of hungry pigeons. 

Pigeon Heaven

Pure joy--one of my favorite pictures taken this summer of the little guy. 

That's my cousin, Adelaide sitting there between my kids, and her own daughter.  We used to play at this park as children.  Doesn't seem that long ago, Adelaide.  How I miss you!
