the first haircut

It was "bye-bye" to Wells' long, flowing locks. He was having such a good time until it was time to get in the barber chair.

Mommy gets credit for saving the day and bringing a big sucker to distract Wells from the trauma of his first haircut. I think more hair clippings were stuck to the sucker at the end than were actually on the floor.

picture time...Holland

"Whew, all this posing for pictures is making me thirsty."



"I know I am not supposed to touch the flowers, but this rose is so pretty, is it okay if I just touch it a little bit?"

picture time...A.L.

Anyone want to match up in a staring contest with Anne Lawson? I have $50 on A.L.

"Daddy, how many pictures are you going to take?"



This look could be translated into a Roberta Flack song.

picture time...Wells

The distant gaze of an innocent young boy.

The focused stare of a little man that wants us to know he is aware of far more than we realize.

...and the sillier side of Wells.

suckers in the park

Wells worked his first blow pop like he was a veteran. Is it me, or does he look like a 5 year old in that visor?

Anne Lawson preferred to suck on the markers.

Holland learned quickly that once you grab hold of the blow pop, it is tough to let go.

art in the park

Owen and Rhys did a great job steering our big rig around Linn Park. The art was great, but we felt like most of the people were staring at us.

A.L.: "Elizabeth's new husky puppy, Esther, is the softest thing I have ever kissed."

tiny, sweet, plaid hugs

pj's around the house

Elizabeth is not only a great nanny, she is quite a photographer.

"Mardi Gras beads are the perfect accessory to my Auburn pj's"

Holland plays the role of referee as Wells has no trouble pinning Anne Lawson.

easter lunch

Yia Yia's lamb was great, but the chocolate bunnies and candy were the biggest hit.

family easter

It was great to spend Easter morning with Grandmother Cheryl, Aunt Fletcher, Uncle Johnny and cousin Landon.

windy day at the beach

dinner on the porch

Mommy makes us eat outside sometimes so she does not have to clean the kitchen floor. But, when the weather is this nice, we don't mind.

get at them eggs

It's a good thing we hid eggs a couple of weeks before Easter...the weather was much nicer.
