An Eventful Day

Today was an eventful day. It started out rather silly with Tristan toppling his activity mat over onto his face. Instead of crying, he laughed:
















Joe determined that Tristan was old enough to be held on his shoulders, 6'2" off the ground:


















And we visited my Yeen-Yeen (Tristan's Great Grandmother) and took some great photos. I haven't heard her laugh that much in ages. I love how the photos highlight their age difference, but show how playfulness is ageless.










































And to end the day on an even sweeter note, I was inspired to make these raisin ginger scones to go with strawberry preserves that Joe made from strawberries we bought at a local stand in Shingle Springs. The recipe came from the Emma Nevada House, a quaint B&B that Joe and I vacationed at in Nevada City, back in the days when we could, where we enjoyed a fantastic breakfast and a quiet evening by the fireplace.

For those who want the recipe, see above post.
