Isabel's first poem, age 2 1/2

Moon

My love the moon

My dance on the moon

Really careful

No pop the moon

Oda a la Sandia

Ode to a Watermelon

by Pablo Neruda

Round, supreme, celestial watermelon
The fruit of the tree of thirst
Green whale of summer.

Just some cutie-poo pictures...

from the last month...

More late stuff

Happy 2nd Birthday, Rylan Rooster!!

Only a couple of weeks late...

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY, YOLANDA RUTH!!!

Strong Arms

Scene: Laurel, trying to remove the stubborn bowl from the Kitchenaid mixer and quietly cursing under her breath at the stupid thing. Isabel, standing on a chair and peering under her elbow.

"Let me help, Mama. I have strong arms!"

Bad Mommy!

I haven't posted for such a long time; I feel terrible. My camera is on the fritz (or possibly irretrievably broken--hard to tell at this point), so no new pix. We've just been busy living life, I guess. Yolanda's birthday is coming up and school will soon be out. Hopefully there will be lots of fun new stuff to report soon.
