happy easter


See the full slideshow of recent photos, including Josephine snapping beans with our neighbor, eating flowers from my rosemary tree, and looking cute in the dress my mother made for me when I was a girl, which garners all sorts of compliments...
Josephine loved finding eggs all over the house.
Sam has started smiling. Tonight he was fussy, so I started singing - and he startled in awe and wonder and delight, sheer euphoria lit up his face, and he grinned and started trying to sing back to me with gurgles and coos - it was the most amazing moment of joy between us.

First Day of Spring


- A pair of geese meet a pair of girls
- Daddy points out how the wild onions grow up curly from the ground

Meet my Garbie, Fred

Last night Jo rocked Fred to sleep in her arms, "she baby,"...

We're Crafty


A couple days ago, Jo and I used old tissue boxes to make the house of the three bears - complete with a basement cave (daddy's been teaching about bears in caves) and a slide - and of course, three beds and three chairs!

Question from Jo last night:
Where Santa Claus live?
- uh... North Pole
oh. Where his lake?
- at the North Pole
Where his boat?
- on the lake
Where is mother ("mudder")?
- she's up there, too...

Later:
Me: Why are you being so loud?
Jo: Because... so... (thinks hard; can't come up with a reason)... I be quieter...

Garbie Fred.
