mother's day

Malcolm planted some seeds and decorated a pot for me at school!

He also gave me instructions. Now I know how to draw a cat and a bunny.

Jane drew me a nice picture also.

We spent the morning at the aquarium. It was a nice day and not very crowded.

These seahorses were tiny! They were so cute!

We went to Mija Cantina for lunch. It was delicious as usual!

ACES

The kids had a great day for "all children exercise simultaneously" at school last week. Kindergartners wore red and second graders wore blue. They danced to songs all together and it was cool to watch!

Maine

We met up with Nana, Grammy, Uncle Ben, Aunt Amy and cousin Reagan at the Maine Wildlife Park last weekend. The kids spent a long time feeding the turkeys!

There were a lot of turtles.

The fox was pretty active.

We were glad the cougar was awake!

Jane loved the bears and wanted to stay there forever!

Westie

Westie has been enjoying spring. Here she is resting on a pile of hand-me-down clothes we got the other day.

She sat inside the kids' perler bead bin!

She likes to go out on the porch.

I even let her explore the deck for a few minutes.

little league opening day

Last weekend we were in the parade for opening day!

Keegan and Jane.

This is sort of what her photo will look like this year. I couldn't get a group shot of the team because I was in it!

Malcolm's soccer started up last week. He has some of the same kids on his team from the Fall, and the same coaches.

Here's Jane running at softball practice. She knew two of the girls from last year and the head coach, but everyone else is new.

This is blooming in a shady spot next to the house. It's bloodroot.

I had to get some photos of Jane with the magnolia like I do every year!

Our neighbors' guinea fowl have been visiting our yard a lot.

Boston

Friday of vacation we went to Boston with our friends Duncan and Cassidy. The T was free, so that was nice!

They ran around and played in Boston Common.

Then we headed to the Public Garden.

Then we met up with Rosalie and Nolan! Rosalie had a sling because of a sore shoulder.

After a picnic lunch, we went straight to Georgetown Cupcake.

Jane got chocolate birthday cake, I got coffee oreo and Malcolm got Easter bunny. They were delicious as usual!

Cupcake kitchen!

We walked back to the park on Newbury Street.

The other kids went to the playground but Jane just wanted to watch this squirrel. She likes how city squirrels let people get close to them.

Rosalie lent some books to us. It was handy for the ride home!
