Four years ago today...

Ri nabbed herself a keeper.

April 29, 2009

Pool.

Splashing.

Fun!

April 28, 2009

Can you believe this balloon

is STILL floating...

from his April 1 Birthday?

April 27, 2009

Shhhhhhh.

Somebunny's sleeping.

(On our TV armoire...)

April 26, 2009

Went to the beach today.

If I could sketch with colored pencils...

this is how it would have looked.

(Thanks, Photoshop...)

April 25, 2009

I couldn't choose today.

You get two.

Hey, Zac Efron?

I think somebody's gunning

for your job.

Or, at least the toddler version

of your haircut...

So, do you think

he's a little too close

to the TV...?

April 24, 2009

Flowers for Cecilia.

(see here for the whole story...)

April 23, 2009

Forgot to post yesterday.

But, I did take a photo.

Here's Chloe...Lucy's canine counterpart.

April 22, 2009

We had a visitor

for a few hours today.

Liam really likes

Baby Brooklyn.

(She's Maggie's little sister...)

Jasmine and Sebastian.

Both aged three.

Yep, they're holding hands.

Adorable.

April 19, 2009

Almost forgot to take a photo today.

Lucy obliged...

she was born to model.

Bonus photo:

I even interrupted a nap

to take her picture.

What a sweetie.

April 18, 2009

...sometimes

I just can't help

playing with Photoshop.

April 17, 2009

More flowers.

(Can't help it - everything is blooming!)

Some of my Dad's azaleas at dusk...

and a bumblebee in mid flight.

April 16, 2009

Under the dogwood tree

in our front yard.

Welcome, Spring!

April 15, 2009

Both boys are in bed already.

American Idol just started.

The four things in this picture

are what I'm snuggling up with

right now.

April 14, 2009

He wanted to wear his entire

"Knight Costume"

to pick up Daddy at the airport.

I disagreed.

He negotiated.

We compromised.

We each dressed a half.

...he's going to be a hell of an attorney someday.

April 13, 2009

*sigh*

Is it tomorrow yet?

April 12, 2009

On Safari...at the Zoo.

(Hope you all had a Happy Easter!)

April 11, 2009

"I hold it. I hold the unbrewwa, Mama,"

he requested gleefully...

"Wike Jinyminy Cwicket."

April 10, 2009

Taken at 2:03 pm today,

a few blocks from our house.

78 degrees & sunny,

with a lovely light breeze off the water.

Come on, summer!

We're ready.

April 9, 2009

Forgot to take my camera out to the park today.

Took this with my phone.

Way to go, LG enV2!

April 8, 2009

"The Kindly Giant,

with a careless wave

of his enormous hand,

made a clearing

in the clouds and fog

that had settled around the Castle,

and peered curiously into the

bustling courtyard..."

April 7, 2009

"Have fun stormin' the castle...!"

(If you love The Princess Bride, that was funny.)

Enjoying Liam's new Playmobil set...

April 6, 2009

Whenever it rains,

these two take up residence

in our front yard.

Liam says they're

Mr. and Mrs. Mallard

from

Make Way For Ducklings...

but, we're still waiting for

Jack, Kack, Lack, Mack, Nack, Ouack, Pack, and Quack

to show up.

April 5, 2009

Ah, goosedown comforters.

So snuggly, but

sometimes

you've just GOT to

stick your feet out

to regulate your body temperature.

(His parents do it, too. It's hereditary.)

April 4, 2009

Easter Egg Hunt.

"The Loot"

April 3, 2009

My son with the dollhouse

that my Grandfather made for me.

A meeting of generations.

Love.

April 2, 2009

Somewhere in Sherwood Forest,

Robin Hood is missing

a hat.

April 1, 2009

Liam's 3rd Birthday.

Also April Fool's Day.

Yeah, we'll say that's why I'm five days late in starting this blog...
