Tuesday.

Silas had Friday off, so he came along to class with Ruby and was a big help. We had the first popsicles of the season and Silas has discovered he can now read the jokes that are on the sticks all by himself. And as of yesterday, we all have new Spring haircuts!

Afternoon Snack.

More of the same over the weekend. Much progress on the cabinet repair. We have a pantry with shelves! We all watched PONYO over the weekend as well. The kids were mesmerized-so good. And Ruby discover a new favorite shirt, we are three days running...

Backyard.

Fresh flowers from our huge camellia tree in the side yard.

Backyard fire where we roasted marshmallows (sticks provided by the newly pruned apple tree), and ate smores.

The Letting Go.

Ruby and I have been taking a class for a couple hours a week on Friday mornings. It's kind of a "getting ready for preschool class". She loves it and is excited about her "school". And her friend Ruby from up the street goes too. Yes, another Ruby (and her mom's name is Amanda), no joke. Anyhoo, the class has made me realize my momma time with a baby is near the end. And it's hard...

Over the Weekend.

Dinner with friends three nights in a row, farmers market, handmade bowl auction, porch planning, yard mowing, dandelion removal, pruning, grass seed, blisters. And last night Ruby pooped in the potty. Jackpot!!!!

Exiting and Entering.

Sunday night we headed over to the Eastside to visit some friends and eat some salmon. So much fun and such a beautiful drive.

Leaving the city, waiting for the drawbridge.

Coming home, passing by downtown.
