I was trapped in a mud pit beneath the big toy and Hazel could only communicate with me through this ladder rung

Supey found us after her work talk which obviously made Landry very happy

Landry and Hazel were playing together — and even mostly playing the same game

Hat at a jaunty angle

Hazel’s family pictures will hang in her classroom

Hazel says she learned this trick from Olivia at school

Landry

Landry

Hazel (at the tail end of pretending to be a mommy and “folding” all of the real laundry into piles)

Infant eye view

Dressed in our camp shirts and ready for a picnic

Who can spot Landry among the spots?

Congo bars for the next generation

Hazel is all of a sudden willing to swing again

This guy’s got a lot to say

Making herself comfortable for a new batch of library books

Hazel was a little bit wound up for a while after school ended

Arrrrring Landry’s pirate patch

He’s watching his sister here (and isn’t as yellow as he looks — it’s the lighting and the clothing and the rug!)

Bright eyed

Honk honk: an occasional tractor picture

Hazel was pretty tired after her second day of school

Apparently so was Landry

After a rest we rallied and went to the library

Landry on his side, talking, hands clasped

Close up of those baby hands

Hazel attempted to thwart my picture-taking by shaking rattles. Not terribly effective, thank goodness
