This is my favorite photo of Heather’s that she’s ever taken. It was the first time Leta had a drink out of a hose, and I’m in the background, helping. Sweet moment.

    Aww, I still remember sharing the hose with my dog in the summers as a kid. Great picture!

    I love how Leta is trying to hold the water. And Chuck is all “wait this is my schtick“
    So cute.

    When I saw that photo this morning, I could feel the cold on my teeth. Oh so many memories of getting a drink from the hose.

    It’s certainly a special moment!

    And one that you could share with Chuck as well!

    Look at those long, slim fingers! Never noticed that before. Piano lessons? This photo looks like a contest entry if you ask me!

    Yeah! When I saw that photo the first word that popped into my head was DAMN DYNAMIC. Okay, that’s two words. I guess I’ll be hearing from your attorneys.

    That is adorable. I always freak my husband out when I drink from the hose like that…

    LOVE that photo.

    Leta looks so grown-up, her hair has gotten so long!

    In addition to being incredibly sweet, the photo is so lush and rich, if that makes sense.

    I don’t even know Leta, and I adore her. Great photo.

    Marvelous. Hose drinking is such a rite of passage.

    That is SUCH a great picture. There are so many things about it that make it great. Absolutely love it.

    I’m sure you know this, but you’re incredibly lucky to have such an amazing and beautiful family.

    Can you please do me a huge favor and pull a Paris Hilton. Just leave the camera on the porch and I’ll come by and steal it.

    You’ll probably have to leave it there for a couple of days because It’s an 8 hour drive to SLC from here and I haven’t the faintest clue where you live. It may take me a while.

    I grew up with Native Americans and have a plethora of Native American relatives who taught me some tracking techniques and I was in the boy scouts most of my boyhood so I’m pretty sure I can find it.

    If I don’t, can you mail it to me? :P

    Just saw this photo on Dooce as well and I LOVE IT. It’s ok for little kids to drink from hoses but I got total crap when I filled up my sons water jug for baseball with the hose when he was 12. Don’t really see the difference.

    My God, that is a beautiful photo. It is amazing to me how children are so perfect beautiful and they can melt our hearts in a nannosecond. Leta is so beautiful, you and Heather are so blessed. This is a good thing.

    Ah, who doesn’t remember drinking from the hose when they were a kid?

    I loved that one also, I got a little lump in my throat when I saw it, it was just too perfect! What a beautiful family you Armstrongs have!
