Father's Day

A big shout out to all the papas! (a bit late!) And to the one who helps me raise these little ones, keeps me looking on the bright side of life, makes me laugh, loves a good political/legal/social justice talk as I do, happy today and happy always.

Blueberry Picking!

Inspired by Blueberries for Sal, we went picking with our storytime friends to Blueberry Hill in Henry County (Wendell Berry land). Wilson's pail, as you can see, remained empty while mine was full. They really should weigh the kids on the way out! You may also be able to tell that I love, love, love Wilson's new hat, part hipster and part Amish kid.

Jane's 1st Birthday!

Jane tried cake not once but twice for her first birthday. We first had a party at my parents' on the 16th, then a gathering outside on the following Saturday. The weather cooperated!

Happy Birthday Jane Bug! (June 16th!)

You are almost one! It seems as if we were just sitting on the front porch with you in our arms, and now you are bursting to get moving! Everything about you is joy and contentment, and your eyes and smile brighten everyone you meet. You are our little Buddha baby, banana pants, Jane bug -- we LOVE you!!!
