Basil bunny	purple people
	a series of pictures to demonstrate the futility of asking a 3 year old to smile
		well, somebody's smiling!
		surveying the territory - we're having te backyard regraded to help with drainage, since we have water against (thankfully not in) the house, and a boggy soggy yard year round
	after a wet spring, this is what was lurking under the cantilevered area of the house!! Latte anyone?	pulling out our deck footings like toothpicks (note the lack of concrete anchors - no wonder the deck was shifting all over the place!)
	Sure, make it look easy! (I couldn't even WIGGLE a rock like that)	under the back door
view from the back door	ooee gooee	Elliott "helps"
and becomes stuck in the muck (you try pulling out a 35 lb kid while holding a 25 lb kid and not falling into the mud yourself!)	Lorelei loves the umbrella	modelling an almost too small Motherease Onesize fitted diaper (hey, it SAYS one-size fits all!)
Elliott "reading"	Lorelei cooking up some breakfast	Hey, finally a kid who likes shape sorters!
well, sort of		she wanted so badly to go outside, but it was absolutely muddy
Elliott carried on long conversations with his waffle (which was cut so it looked like an alligator) and refused to eat it all day. Tragedy struck when the hinge broke.	Hi Amelia!	enjoying the Maple Street playground
	We are allowed to feed the animals in this zoo	trying to climb out the window.. again
Lorelei revels in precarious situations
Babies aren't allowed in this stroller? Says WHO?!?	Fiona and Shadow heading to the vet (who is heavier, Fiona + Shadow or Lorelei? Lorelei!)
early physics lessons	modelling her new too-big wool longies	singing and banging
I was trying to get a picture of her on this blanket, like the ones I took months ago when she was just sitting up	but she had other plans
Elliott helps make and eat some gooooood guacamole	taking a walk in Dada's shoes	this hermit crab really needs to find a bigger house!
dandilions shall inherit the earth	hose fun
abotu 10 seconds from now, she finally realized she was hypothermic and burst into tears	obsessed with the buckle
	playing a lego game
toddler imperative: must climb into all containers	that's better!
Lorelei wins (errr...)		AWwwww... lovabunny
yes, Basil is an easy going bunny	good morning babe!	Lorelei climbing into Elliott's tower again
		what's down there?
	another container conquered (excuse the handed down Pampers box)
Mike's birthday cake from his mom and dad		trying to sit like everyone else
