Yay for Gracie

I was just watching a movie clip of a couple dancing the tango, with Gracie sitting on my lap. When the audience in the movie applauded the dancers, Gracie did too.

Spring Break at Golden Acre

Easter half-term (aka spring break) always requires a trip to the park. As we were getting ready to leave, one of Graham's classmates ran up to say "hi." It made me happy.









An Easter "Bonnet"

I came home from my trip to Missouri & learned that Graham wanted to wear a decorated hat to school on the day the Easter bunny would visit. Jason, being the awesome dad he is, had already got the stuff to meet Graham's requirements: "springs," pompoms, & googly-eyes. My guys put this together in about 10 minutes -- pretty cool stuff.

Rosie at Studley Royal

Rosie tilts her head, puts her shoulders up, and gives this quirky smile. It's her very own cheesy "Cheese!" photo pose. Coupled with the authentic Eighteenth Century pool (which looks like a circa-1980s-got-my-photo-taken-at-Kmart background), it should be in a retro exhibit.


We fed the birds that happy day.

Christel

Guess who liked giggling with her aunt?

Cousin-Twins part 2








See how Gracie's face is clean?

See how things are going in her mouth?

See how her face isn't clean anymore? (Yes, she was eating rocks.)

Cousin-Twins

My cousin James & his wife Julie have a little girl named Anna. She's very blond, very cute, & very fun. She's also only twelve hours older than Gracie. So, when I flew to States, it was imperative that we get the twins together.








Gracie may someday be jealous of her cousin-twin being the dominant subject of these photos, but I'll just have to remind her that Anna photographs really well.
