Spring Has Arrived, with Ice Cream

No school and lots of sun, it was an almost perfect day. We decided to take our first family bike ride of 2013. Destination: Soft Serve.

 

Oscar and Will in the trailer, Oscar is eager to get out.

 

 

Cherry dipped cone.

That face.

Ice cream mishap.

Taran and Emma show off their cones.

Calvin and Enoch sit down to enjoy.

Saturday Evening

I'm not even sure what to call this here. It was just a lazy, calm Saturday evening, all the normal stuff was happening:
we're daily in the same room together,
Willa frequently cuddles with David in his lap,
Emma loves to curl up in those chairs,
Oscar is always hanging around to be apart of what's happening,
Enoch and Calvin regularly use the love seat as trampoline, &
Taran often moves through the house in a self meditative daze,
but somehow it's rare that these normal actions combine together so perfectly.

Calvin canon balls in the back.

Oscar and Taran are drawn into the space.

Enoch leaps, Emma yawns, Taran found a book, Calvin watches, Willa plays, Oscar observes.

May Day at the Y

May 1st, traditionally a day to celebrate spring, flowers, and color but it was snowing when we headed into the YWCA.

 

 

Pretty much the only color from the day was when Oscar bit the tip off of a marker while in babysitting.

 

And Willa too, because she's just cute.
