" a portrait of my children, once a week, every week, for one year"

ruby: dunking her dunkers (choc chip cookies from TJ's) into milk
dec: finding himself overly funny running around dusting everything in sight, even perhaps some dust
mikey: getting cozy after a long day of fun

backyard flowers.

 loving spring time flower picking right now. our roses have been better than ever, and a pretty hot topic with the kids every time they find new blooms. i dream of having a lush abundant garden out back, but all in good time. hopefully our composting will provide for some more fertile soil in years to come. 

for now, we are so thankful for this gorgeous spring weather and beautiful blooms!

ruby: not feeling well for several days with some stomach issues...we couldnt quite decide if it was a bug or just too many chocolate coins from the Easter basket in her room.
declan: attempting to plant a tree branch he cut off with his prized possession yellow scissors. he likes to trim the trees, or really just anything in sight he can cut. 
mikey: looking for trouble in every corner of the house. eating everything in sight. and being extra delish and cute lately.

declan. being a little stink, half dressed as usual after playing outside in the hose.
mikey. playing in what is still left of the easter basket grass, sabotaging the puppet theater set-up the kids were entertaining with.
