a perfectly lovely day

weekend before last yielded us the most beautiful April day, so to take full advantage we headed downtown for a bit. wandered through the market for a while, got some lunch (lamb gyro, hot dog, clam chowder), hung out. since it was soooo nice we headed over to Alki (the beach community where the shot below was taken) and walked along the boardwalk, down on the beach, got some seashells, etc. the rest of the pics can be seen HERE!

guess who lost another tooth?

this one, lost (04.18) during a breakfast of cereal, has been loose since November. i kid you not. the permanent tooth has been completely in for a few weeks now, just chilling out behind the loose one. she refused to pull or even encourage it to come out in any way, so we had to wait it out. hopefully the top two won't hang in quite as long!

happy Sunday!

miss sassy pants

i've been sadly amiss and in desperate need of taking photos of ms. thang. so a few weekends ago i threw on her sassy hat and a new dress and managed to get a few. i've got several other tops/dresses that i want photos of her in, so hopefully be summer's end we'll be all caught up, photo shoot wise.

just spending a quiet Saturday at home. we're having some weird weather here, last Sat. it was sunny and 85 (photos from our day out soon), cut to the snow falling outside right now. it was all over the roofs and ground when we got up this morning. so wild!!!

hope you're having a warm day, wherever you are!

so easter

was great :) an early morning hunt for the elusive, Easter Bunny-hidden, basket ended when daddy heard a mysterious knock at the front door, only to open it and see a puffy white tail hopping just out of sight....hmm...highlights from the basket included 2 Biscuit books, a new outfit for Beatrice (the baby doll), Polly Pockets, etc.

we headed to church, then back home to quickly bake a cake before heading over for Easter dinner. had a small, indoor, egg hunt (this looks like a safe room for a almost 6-yr-old to hunt for eggs doesn't it?)

a couple of rounds of a game that we call bisicquoi (biss-a-coo-ee) and dinner!!!
