The weather is perfect, warm with an occasional shower today, although I miss the slight chill on the face we experience in Tassie. Both Creed and Rosie are growing so quickly. Although there is 2 years difference between their ages, they are the same size !!! They look like twins and are best of friends.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, we spent Father&#8217;s Day out at the airport where Steve is an air traffic controller.
