Irene's Drink

 Does anyone else drink like this at dinner?

I made a cold frame with some windows from our dear friends Josh and Mary.

Irene the Magnificent

Irene has conquered yet another part of Evangeline's life.

Family Portrait

We took the opportunity for a family portrait when I was holding Evangeline and Irene and Katie decided to make it official.

Bliss!

I'm like the only person who has has not taken the girls to the Children's Museum. So, today we walked downtown, ate some lunch in the park, and went over to the museum. It was so fun I only took a couple of photos.

Evangeline got two bananas for Irene. Irene loves bananas.

I was surprised Irene put up with this.

Later at home Evangeline wanted to take a bath with Irene, but
definitely did not want me to take a picture of their beards.

You vant picture? Ok..

Dancing Party

I'm not sure why...

...but i just can't stop laughing at this photo.

...and Scene!

Today, Evangeline, in carseat, looking out of window. Counting on fingers:

Aunt Jessie, Aunt Beth, Uncle Jim, Grandma, Baba, Popop, Uncle Mike, Aunt Carol, Me, Daddy.
If you feel bad you weren't mentioned, don't-- because neither I nor Irene made the cut. I think she ran out of fingers. (Also, I think "grandma" only gets one finger, for one name).

Picnic

We've had some camera and computer problems, so we apologize for not being too diligent with this for a few days. We're back up now, and hope you enjoy these stunning photos of your favorite children under 3 years.

Visit dad in his office day!

 I took the kids to the arboretum today for a picnic. Evangeline got a new costume, and decided to wear it. I'm not sure how often you have to wear something for it to not really be a costume anymore. But, she really does look like a flower eh?

Unashamed lover of food.

"Yeah, I'm going to eat one more bite and give this to Irene."

GOT IT.
Notice the lurker.

The windchimes didn't really provide any steady rhythm, but it was still worth dancing to their sounds.

It's too high, so you can always use it for other things.

And the coup de gras... Irene went down a slide by herself for the first time today.
