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

Today was Hazel’s first day of nursery school. When the director of the school greeted her this morning she said “Hi! I’m Hazel. Today I’m going by myself.”

By all accounts she had a good day

Landry had some time as the only kid at home

Scritch scratch. Baby, don’t poke!

Landry does a lot of smiling but also some crying

He has a funny patch of thicker hair in the back

Landry takes any opportunity to roll onto his side to chew on something

This is one of Hazel’s expressions when she’s eaten something that doesn’t taste quite right

Approaching the edge to throw acorns into the Charles

Landry likes forward-facing bjorning sometimes

Telling jokes in the shade of the trees

Cutting edge sky writing: five planes (drones?) simultaneously spewed these dashes!

Landry loves watching Hazel’s shows…and so do we

Enjoying life at an angle

Waiting and watching out the window

Landry may look a little like Charlie Brown from this angle

Hazel wanted her brother to sit with her but did not want him sucking on her arm
