Max and Alex had their first sleepover and a grand old time. Can't wait to do it again!

every mom thinks

her baby is the prettiest baby in the world. In our case, it just so happens to be actual fact.

an analogy

for the parents out there. you know when breastfed babies stop pooping every few hours, and then every few days you get a landslide? that's how it's about to be with blog posts. so many great pictures to come.

sleeping beauty.

Theodore day out

We had a lovely visit with the Theodores this weekend! LIA went for her first hike.

the laundry is now a riot of ruffles, pink, and flowers among the trucks and superhero underwear. Here's LIA in some springtime adorable.

permaculture

we had a blast at Daddy's graduation from permaculture class. Max boogied down with a new friend, drummed, and took part in a child avalanche.

Beautiful, isn't it?
