sam and emily - absolutely gorgeous!

just over a month until the recital... i can't wait to see what these little girls have been up to all year!

lunch. not pictured is the dollop of hollandaise on top of the egg.

this is why we are alive people. to eat homemade food like this.

it was a lovely night for a campfire. a million happy sighs over this weather.

could this be the end of winter 2012? could be. even though it's been the mildest winter possible, we are so ready for lighter jackets and full time rubber boots.

but no one is quite ready for hockey season to be over. we had a fun weekend, and a lot of it can be summed up in this text to my teammate who was at home sick:


who knew women's rec hockey would get so nuts! our home tournament sure proved to be a memorable one.

have i ever been this excited to vacuum? i think not....

anna, while flipping through a national geographic magazine:

"mom, i know all about skulls and dead people. let me tell you about them.... first, you don't want to dress up like a zombie or mummy or skeleton or just a plain dead person cause then they will kill you again or leave you buried and no one will find you for MILLIONS of years. and you DO NOT want that mom, trust me."
