Our sweet Ava baby would be nine today. Lucy and I went out for peonies. (And a haircut.) They didn’t have the pink ones I wanted. They has some tiny dark pink ones, that weren’t open yet. So I went with the white. It’s fine, right?


I love the wrapping. It’s always my temptation to leave them in the paper.


Shall I photoshop them pink?


A PRETTY butterfly from Auntie Kristi ♥


Running with a lollipop?!

     
Cady sent me these pics – isn’t she sweet! And – that is exactly the right pink peony. I’ll make sure to call in my order ahead next year (10!)

Tonight we are going out to dinner down the street – Ragazza. I want to try out their back patio. After, we’ll tear into these:


Kiera and Cole came over for breakfast. SK surprised us with these classic lovelies! ♥!

New Suits

03 May 2012

Lucy’s new bathing suit came in the mail, and she wore it all day.
After bath just now, she demanded to wear it some more!
Oscar wanted to join in.
So we let them jump on the bed…

Now all we need is some warm weather.

Ps there were so many blurry shots. Which one do you like best?

Oscar’s Poor Public School

Clarendon is hurting for money, more than ever before.
*Will you help?*

I just got this:
(note: its a photo – the link wont work)

WE ARE ROOM 103! The worst class!

Leap is our cash fundraising program name (I forget what it stands for).
http://www.secondcommunity.org
is where you can donate online,
or send a check to me. Make it out to “SCPA”.

The donation is tax-deductable (I can give you the info)

I will spare you the details of what the families need to pay for, because the state wont.
Trust me when I say this is a good cause!

And thanks for you generosity, in any amount.
:)

Weekend in Sebastopol

30 Apr 2012

A sunny and warm weekend!


We are off to Kathy’s (next door).


The pool was so quiet you could hear the bees buzzing around the lavender.


Kathy leant Oscar some fun goggles.


Goofing off


A wild turkey, who made a break for it when I showed up.


Happy Booker


My favorite shot of the weekend – click this one to see large


Omi was excited to see all her iris in bloom


The tomato field, prepped for planting


My favorite – I mean really, giant yellow farm roses? Whats not to love?


Giving the dollies a tour


The apple trees are still in bloom


Meet Jake. He belongs to a neighbor.


Teenager Chickens


Oscar can’t quite catch one yet, so Mark helped. I think it’s great when the kids can pet the chickens.


The pony


Friendly butterfly


As close as he could get :)
