Sequence of Sleeping Positions

After playing in his crib till the wee hours the night before, wake up time in the morning was a little tough for Joel. Here is flash # 1.

And here is flash #2
Now we have flash #3

Here is the only response I got!

Ben Earns GREEN

You have to turn your head for the cake. The celebration was an important achievement for Ben. He passed his accreditation test for "Green" construction. This is a big deal for him and his company for future bids, jobs, etc. There were lots of nights of study and plenty of anxiety, but now the piece of paper says it all! Congratulations, Ben!

Phil Takes A Day Off

For a Christmas present, I promised Brooke a day of skiing. It sounded like so much fun, Phil & Patrick had to come along. Though Brooke left them both behind in the dust, (or powder), she pooped out before I got my camera out. It was a well deserved break and day off.

No Tonsils = New Quilt

This is the day Grace had her tonsils removed...notice the purple mouth from a grape popsicle. She loves dressing the "paper dolls" with their clothes. Thank you, Granny, for the beautiful quilt!

50 Years Later...

...and it still fits!

Spring! ...???

It seems like it is time for "Spring"
to decide to make a commitment,
don't you think???

Pussy Willows

A couple of days ago, Bob picked some branches of pussy willows and put them in a vase for the dining table. They are usually the first cutable signs of spring and generally last until we can sneak a few yellow daffodils in with them. This picture of Kemp was taken at our Cooper Pt. home so he is just 4 or 5 years old. Spring was welcome then too!
