Well, these pictures are from this week. The light was beautiful, pink and periwinkle. She was here, my right hand girl: We sorted toys and cleaned. I threw away all the million year old potato heads and some other thing that were done for. This is how we contain our crawling baby, keep her away […]

My sister gave us this pretty plant on Easter. I hope we can keep it alive. This is enough. The snow is just enough! Enough already! Elin is even pretty over it. She went outside a bunch of times, but even a snow-loving dog looked fairly bored with the whole thing. We used to use
They were busy all day, played with toys all over the house. We watched four episodes of Garfield. (I kind of do love Garfield.) After lunch, we braved the snowstorm and went bowling. They were great, took turns, did really well. The scores were very, very close. We announced it was a tie. What a

Everyone was restless and distracted. We tried to find things to do, but their attention span was nil. We put

It was sad, but also good to be

They threw around a mess, threw candy, left a mean note. p.j. read the note, which seriously was not one of their best insults, and then laughed right out loud.

Eyes may be closed, but still smiling cooperatively. Post cake pillow fight: And that brings us to you, sweet James. It’s been an interesting and challenging time this winter, but know this: Everyone in this family loves you so incredibly much. This whole family is better with you in it, and that’s the truth. Happy
We had breakfast at this restaurant next to the pool. Eventually we made our way to the ocean. It was a pretty beautiful Monday. Love, Val

It’s snowing tonight, so pretty. Muffled sound, big old bright pastel dome of sky: Here are a few more pictures of last weekend, which was a splendid time spent with kids I love and seldom get to hang out with. It was a laid back couple of days, loud, cheerful and fun. He’s written something
