Well I’m finally getting around to downloading our photos for the past month or so. I know that at least a few of you people who read the blog have told me that you check in regularly, and end up waiting and waiting for new posts. Trust me I feel your pain. I even sometimes check in to see if there’s a new post up yet. Just haven’t been making the time for it like I used to I guess. Still, we’ve been keeping busy as usual.
We had Nicki’s folks here for a nice week long visit, and somehow ended up taking exactly one picture the whole time they were here. It’s a good one thankfully. We had a really nice time and Anna and Milo certainly enjoyed their time with Grandma and Grandpa. Anna in particular enjoyed having two new playmates to introduce all of her games to.
We’ve been back at the park quite a bit, enjoying the nice (and not-so-nice) spring weather. Nicki took a bunch of nice photos of the kids one day.
Anna and Milo on the swingset.
Milo really digs the swings.
Anna likes ‘em too.
We recently roasted the world’s largest squash. It was from our CSA..not sure the variety. It was sort of turban shaped, and barely fit in the oven cut in half. It was delicious.
Anna’s friend Nora is in town from Montana for a few days. We went to a party this past Saturday and they had a lot of fun together. There were tons of boys as usual, so Anna was pretty excited to have a girlfriend in the house.

Jamboree.
Anna’s school class put on a “gnome tea party” yesterday. The kids had helped to sew their felt hats and dye their capes, they’d learned songs and made gnome cakes. Anna had been talking about getting ready for it for weeks. We were instructed to wait in the yard and to let the gnomes come find us. They came out singing and Anna was first out the door.

I had to get back to work quickly after the gnome party, but Anna still had her gnome hat and cape on when I got home at the end of the day.
And finally, some somewhat recent footage of Milo crawling for you out-of-towners. This is actually a few weeks old…he’s much quicker now.
