Elliott getting an un-birthday gift from the Wellmans |

Elliott loves watering |

Lorelei gravitates toward slopes - runs down the driveway, climbs up and down the slope of
the lawn.. often falling, but ever determined |

Ahh spring! |

the kids help full some pots with soil for seed sprouting |

Beep beep! My back will never be the same after pushing her around in this.. while holding
her feet up with one arm so she doesn't get sucked under the seat |

follow the leader! |

I offer her 10 things for breakfast, but she eats dirt! |

|

Lorelei wearing a new birthday outfit |

carrying her new baby doll around |

Elliott and Mike making a real "rock wall" - he LOVES it |

girls girls everywhere! |

|

trees haven't leafed out yet, but it's only a matter of days |

|

Amelia |

and Kira getting ready to go home |

Lorelei inspecting a new lampshade (she approves) |

Elliott heading out for one of his last days of school |

Lorelei loves his shoes (and any other shoes) - to try on, or eat, either way |

opening a gift from Grandma Lucy |

both kids enjoying the magnetic fishing game |

future alumnus? |

|

|

rearranging the kitchen |

what IS it with electrical cords?? |

she likes to put her food on a spoon with one hand, and then try to eat it off the spoon...
hasn't succeeded yet, but she's at least trying, which is more than I can say for Elliott
most days.. (he still eats everything with his fingers) |

Basil enjoying some running time |

|

|

Where'd the bunny go? (she loves him, but now that she can crawl, we have to leave his cage
closed wehen she's awake or she climbs in and eats his poop - ick-o!) |

Elliott helps clean the glass on the tank (it's more stable than it looks, kinda) |

ooho, fish! |

as the rain continues, we decide to make a swing using some rope Mike bought at the
hardware store, and Elliott's broom |

|

|

|

|

He spent most of the day asking me to make it higher or lower, so he could try standing,
sitting or hanging from it.. |

|

there is a stalker in our tank who seems to enjoy munching off the sides of our rainbows at
night - ugh ugh ugh! We are also losing neon tetras to an unknown predator (not kid
related, but hey). |

|

|

|

Lorelei enjoys swinging as a spectator sport |

|

her sport is climbing precariously onto and into everything (she's standing in the walker
here) |

a beautiful foggy morning |

|

Fiona baboona mona |

Lorelei, the height of fashion (she chose the rainbow leggings and shoes - she often
chooses clothes and brings them to us to help her wear)) |

|

this boot too? |

Elliott washes his baby doll's hair |

morning faces - so cute! |

|

trying to eat the camera |

showing me where Lorelei's hair is |

|

We replaced the broom with a cedar plank, and now Elliott's getting some serious altitude |

Lorelei watches (she has been knocked down a few times, so now we only push him when she's
napping or otherwise occupied) |

eating green beans is always a hoot |

mmm.. eat the rainbow! |

|

|

"uh! uh!" (she's constantly pointing and wanting things.. |

|

|

|

|

Elliott steers as they move the tractor back to Cambridge for the summer |

|

|

Lorelei and tire - about the same size |

Elliott showing us his climbing skills |

|

|

|

each one of these kids is doing their own thing.. |

oh, you! |

|

finally conked out |

more leaf progress |
