This is what April looks like ::

And yes, I'm crabby about it.  On the bright side, we hit the record for most snow ever here in Anchorage.  How about that?

Otherwise... I need to get some Easter photos posted, stat.  And I have a March post planned too.  And a honey bee post.  And... so many plans, so little time.

I hope that whoever you are, there is some wonderful pleasure in your life.  You deserve it.

A cave is a nice place for a picnic

A cave is a nice place for a picnic.  Especially when it is made of snow.





And you made it with your Dad over many afternoons of shoveling.

And it is in the front yard.

And Mom makes hot food to eat inside.
Like Spaghettio's.
And pizza.

Now how is that for a lovely weekend afternoon?

P.S. It is evening time.  The kids are "jammied" (as Milo says), and they are shrieking and giggling and laughing in their room with their Dad.  I just might have given them too much leftover Halloween candy for dessert.  It is so great while it lasts... but I just know it will end in tears.  Or maybe not?

Anyway, all this crazy cacophony is my soundtrack for this post, and I like it.

Family Portrait

We went away Friday night up to Flagstaff with some friends of ours. Adam got to go snowboarding and I spent the day roaming around with my friend Emery and her friend Julianna. We all stayed at Emery's mom's house and had a great time. I really should have taken more pictures, but here is one taken by Chris of Adam, June, and I. I love the motion of it; it feels like real life.

The next week is going to be really busy and I feel like I'll be playing catch up the whole time, so I will primarily be posting pictures.

As for life with June, it is fabulous as usual. She is really walking now and talking up a storm. Today we went to the park and slid on the slides. I said, "weeee" as we went down, and so did June. Then she'd walk around the bottom of the slide and say "weee." It is so fun getting to see the world anew with her. In Flagstaff she got to see snow, though we didn't really play in it.
