Trying, unsuccessfully, to recruit her brother [video]

Searching, searching….found! [video]

Let the squinting season commence

Great spot for viewing sea lions or humans

Daffodils, roller skates, sidewalk chalk, kitty cat

Bubbles coming here?

A skin-shedding caterpillar takes center stage

There was also running

Landry likes tire swings

Magnolia halo

Just Landrying around like a pro

Before school, instead of putting on shoes

Sometimes I come across the kids being silly

And I just grab the camera

And go with it

Low tide and still going down

The low tide exposed areas of the beach, like these clay walls, that we can’t often access

First day of soccer practice for Hazey

Landry would love to join too

This is Landry’s new class rabbit, Hazelnut. He’s the fluffiest!

Hazel lost her eighth tooth this morning at school

Groundskeeper Landry making the rounds and playing morning basketball in the tall, tall grass

Puzzle assistants

Two wheel scooting, here she comes

Part of Hazel’s birthday celebration came early this year

Grandma Linda got in on the action

And Oliver too!

Reading me the sillies in her book

The very next day….to the airport (with rice)

Then on to the (still frozen) wilds of New Hampshire

The kids harvested sheets of ice

With big tools

This was a multi-day activity

Involving multiple changes of clothes each day

And occasional breaks to take in the view

Landry got a kick out of Grampy’s boathouse decorations (pointing here to a “real trophy!” out of the shot)

Puzzling at the Madison Library

And reading a Magic Tree House book to Grammy

On Hazel’s last day as a six year old we went to a playground

Then, seven years old! Wow!

We had fun at the Children’s Museum of NH

Whoa!

This exhibit was our absolute favorite. The projected contour map changed shape and color as we shifted sand beneath it

Happy birthday…

….dear Hazel!

The lake was looking a lot more liquidy on Friday

And Heather came to see us

Last stop: our favorite windows at Logan Airport

Colorful kid in a gray world

Boulder moment

After school

And around the table

Nursing a chin injury with help from his sister

Reading feet
