Enjoying some solitude on the window seat. Since Micah’s birthday, Kai and Micah have been wearing their new capes for play (and car rides, and reading books, and taking naps). Â Leif was a bit envious of their new silky costume apparel and wondered if there was one in the making for him, as well. […]

Indeed. Â Two brave companions slaying dragons (trees) and saving damsels in distress (cats). What you don’t see in these pictures are their weapons. Kai fought bravely with a rake in hand, and Micah with a light saber. Â Ski goggles made a nice helm, and chain mail was essential, of course. Silliness and […]

Our neighborhood bakery, West End Bakery, is currently having a pizza making contest. Â I had to enter. Â I make pizza for dinner at least once a week, so why not? Â Everyone who enters gets a free cup of coffee, so really, it was a no brainer…I don’t even care if I win. Â It was fun. […]

The sun is warming us up around here. Â And just in time…I was seriously contemplating going on a shopping spree at our local toy store because I was feeling somewhat desperate for new inside activities. Â A few sunny days and we are all feeling a lot better. Â The runny noses are gone. We are dirty. […]
