Lorelei's finally figured out that if she comes to me with a book, I will be karmically obligated to read it to her	Mmmm, the tip is the best bite! (and she flips the pizza upside down too, just like Elliott)	a little bit greener
playing with Eliott's doll	eyes?	Elliott getting his first tennis lesson - not much hitting the ball happened, but it was still fun
oooh! Lorelei is a great ball chaser		she loved sticking her fingers in the racquet holes
Elliott's much more impressed with the culvert than with the tennis courts		Elliott, a tasty snack
	an interesting bird we saw
snuggle time	Lorelei really wanted to get in the water (or so she thought)
Elliott never stopped moving, climbing, running, exploring		Lorelei not being gentle to a maple tree sapling
	Elliott was annoyed that there was no way into this castle
	aww, how nice to share..	going for a walk - Lorelei likes the backpack (or at least, going outside) so much that I have to hide it when not in use, or she drags it around whining
		I got my little cradle out for the kids, and Lorelei immediately climbed into it
Leaves! Finally!	UGH! If she lives to two it'll be a miracle	this is how Lorelei climbs the slide
summiting	How many times can I say "NO STANDING!"	she controls her speed with her bare feet, so she never really "slides" anyway! At least she doesn't whack her head
Elliott takes any opportunity to just pop out the back door. They both love to go outside	Ahh, brotherly love	peekaboo! More and more, Elliott's entertaining Babe
growing up.. he reminds me of Vanessa in this picture		Elliott was fascinated by the bits of tree stuff falling from the sky
my attempts at taking pictures of the kids in the prostrate delphinium (see last year's pictures for comparison)		my favorite
and they all go tumbling down	off they go!	Lorelei loves walking barefoot in the grass
Elliott with more tree debris, which he happily sprinkled on our heads whenever we leaned over	I was going to take a picture of the apple tree blossoms, when I found this spider apparently enjoying a meal of a honey bee
spotted robin from Terry	Lorelei likes the tree debris too	smelling the lone blooming Apricot Beauty - my favorite!
a white trillium	hiding in his bunny box	We found you!
three's a crowd	Lorelei enjoying a hula hoop at Saxon Hill's spring fling (in the pouring rain, it was a whole lot of fun!
