When the creative juices flow

Music is an essential part of our lives. It seems we are always singing some little ditty. And now Avery has begun to write songs. She and Thom are practicing for an open mike some date in the future. And Elli is just having a good time. Who knows where it will take us?

The Red Panda

Super cute.

Butterflies! Butterflies!

Roger Williams Park Zoo

We travelled to Providence, Rhode Island to visit the Roger Williams Park Zoo. One of the better zoos we've been to, this one featured today a butterfly exhibit, and fabulous funky animals we don't get to see often like a Red Panda and a Giant Anteater. Our group successfully lured the grey kangaroos up to the front of their enclosure, by politely requesting to see them.

Food! Glorious Food!!

Jack has heartily embraced the next step in the culinary adventure of his life: cereal. Long an admirer of solid food, he eats his daily rice cereal meal with gusto, and by all measures appears eager to take on sweet potatoes, bananas and anything else we are willing to send his way.

Jack learns to kiss.

'nuff said.

Prelude

Today was Children & the Arts in Peterborough. It is a big event for our town. And it was the first time Jack got to experience it. Here he is in a quiet moment before all hell broke loose. Once the parade began, so did Jack's screaming. We had to flee for home while Thom, Avery, and Elli continued with the festivities. We'll try again next year. This is Avery and Molly relaxing after returning home from downtown. And finally, Elli in her Spring Concert attire being admired by her brother.
