The first of many...

Of course the first time we bring out the shorts this spring, this is what happens!

Our little charmer

Ben in a bag, with Nardo

Ben bikes!

We got Ben a balance bike last year, and he's finally just now tall enough to start riding it. 

Swingset construction

Ben is getting a swing set for his birthday this year. Not exactly easy to surprise him with, so instead he's going to help us assemble it.

Frankie faces forward

We're trying out facing forward in the carrier... she looks mad about it here, but generally loves it.

mmmm truffles

Hanging out in the crib

Another lovely day in the garden

Tony and Ben helped put together some flower beds, which will hold some new wisteria bushes for the front of our house. 

Frankie hung out in the tent while all this hard work was happening. Ben visited periodically, when he got distracted from the task at hand.

Hot Rod Show

Here are some great shots by our friend Susi from the hot rod show back in September.
