Up the ramp
Out the chute (and repeat)
Look at those long legs!
Chasing bubbles
Hair tied back out of the wind
The bubble blower is part whistle, part blower, all cool
Ready, set, get Supey
Got her
This bubble looks really big but it might have just been close
Bubble blowing glee
Being three means being big enough to help in the attic!
Here’s the nook on the porch where Hazel waited to ascend the attic stairs. So exciting
Hazel loves the end of Lost when the bear comes back to help the boy
She also loves stamping!
And blowing bubbles with this amazing butterfly bubble blower
Happy birthday Hazel!
There were also morning candles with singing
Catching a snug with Grammy to introduce her to Lambie
It was a beautiful day for a birthday
More than 70 degrees and sunny!
Got to scoot
Loads of grandparents! Hooray!
Taking Grampy for a stroll

Hazel waited for this birthday slurpee for months!

Happily reclined and holding a new toothbrush
Indoor playing on a rainy day
Grammy joined us! (See that they’re holding hands?)
Rock buddies at Drumlin
Brita, this one’s for you! This lamb was born yesterday!
Team tractor driving
This little bantam hen was a big hit. Hazel touched her neck feathers, back, tail feathers and downy under-wing feathers…all with just one finger, as instructed
Short interlude at home: 30 week silly picture
Afternoon outing: small school playground
Hazel is so much more capable — and brave — than she was here last fall
After we tired of the small school playground we went around the building to the bigger playground where Hazel made a friend. They played and played and played together!
Conductor Hazel (aka Mommy can’t resist a picture through a circle…)
Best family portrait ever!

All played out, needing a rest and a story and lots of hair against her face
