Caged Boy (hanging around in Basil's new run) |

Lorelei drawing - she really wants to draw! and she can! (scanned artwork coming soon) |

drawing some more.. she only draws with her left hand, though she often eats with her right. |

Lorelei hitching a ride with Grandpa George |

Shadow thinks she's a rabbit |

a rainbow of sweet bell peppers for Elliott's preschool snack (they're studying colors and light) |

looking more and more grown-up! |

in her music chair, having a good time |

Lorelei's fat little piggies |

reading a story - we've been on a real book kick lately |

future engineer? |

MMm, maybe not. |

Elliott, Fixer Man. |

hat on |

hat off |

Elliott feeds the fish |

they laid more eggs, this time spread across two leaves (and later are them all, as usual) |

ahh, early morning cuteness (she loves playing with her toes.. it's all good until she lifts her leg so high
that she tips over backward - oww!) |

Yes, this is why catching a good smile is tricky! (flap flap flap) |

Ahhh, two grumpy kids chilling on the swing |

Ahh, so sweet, but still grumpy.. |

that's better! |

cheerful babe |

UGH, so close! Lorelei struggles, but she hasn't mastered crawling or creeping. She just spins in circles
and cries, or scoots backwards (but doesn't enjoy it or realize she's getting anywhere). |

buddha baby in her new handmade wool soaker - being Heidi's guinea pig is a very lucky thing! |

desperate to walk, she grabs anyone's hand and just takes off! (see the fish and bubbles on the back? So
cute!) |

coming back... |

and forth.. |

Jasmine visits, and they take turns riding on the elephant |

|

up, up.. |

and away! If this daredevil lives to 10, I'll be .. only slightly relieved. Of course, I was the same way. |

I tried so hard to get a good smile... |

but had to settle for cute smirks |

yay! Lorelei claps now |

just being cute |

Elliott ready to go to the park |

we explored the Underhill elementary school playground.. this is a real "dug out" on the field |

a playground with a view! |

slinging.. it's a ridiculously warm day for February, in the 50s! |

climbing up a big boulder |

boys at the summit |

Lorelei checking out the camera strap |

Ahh, babies in hats! Who can resist? |

Elliott on the boulder |

we walked through the woods, and found that squirrels (we presume) nipped the new growth off of the
evergreens! All the green stuff on the ground is bits of evergreen from the canopy. Poor trees! |

Lorelei inspects the damage |

Elliott in a hidden hay field that we found (again, hay with a seriously gorgeous view!) |

Lorelei takes a ride with Dad |

Elliott in the dome |

Lorelei has eyes only for her boy |

Yay Babe! |

We had a great time |
