Playing outside

 

Bikini time.

 

Rosie thought she could crawl under this tire. Not so.

 

Only children can handle the spinning-induced nausea of this toy.

 

Hammock fun with Elinor.

 

Rock climbing.

School photos

Here are some pictures from Mary's birthday celebration at school, as well as other fun things.

Joy.

Sharing the cake.

Time for the birthday song.

Birthday tosses :-).

And birthday jumps. 

Picnic.

Hmmm, a giraffe?

The whole class got to eat a restaurant owned by one of the girls' grandfathers.

Part of yoga class, I think.

The girls

Mama boots.

"A!"

Mary turns 5!

Enjoying her new walkie talkies.

And a snorkel mask.

Rosie got a gift too :-).

Queen Elsa singing "Let it go."

Getting ready to play pin the nose on Olaf with school friends.

Bubbles!

 Family party!

Boston and California

We just got back from a great vacation that included Uncle Willie's wedding!

The first of 4 loooong flights.

Not so good at selfies.

"Mama, I'm going to climb this tree!" Mary didn't have the success she expected.

Breadstick buddies.

Another munchkin lover in our family.

Trying to break into the vineyard.

Wedding day!

Honorary flower girl.

Photos on the lawn.

Best buddies.

"Aunite, look at my giant mustache."

Little girl, big trees.

Photographer-in-training.

Making car noises: "Brrrrr."

A beverage break while shopping.

And then a treat.

Horns all around.

Jack tried to escape while the girls took control.

An early birthday celebration for Mary...

...and Conor.

Rosie likes the hands-free method of eating.

We found an Icelandic cow at the airport in Boston.

Everyone loves lambie.
