i-cream

i recently discovered the joys of i-cream! gram and nick took me out for some delicious scoops this past weekend. i had some of daddy's strawberry, then some of nick's pistachio, followed by gram's vanilla, and mama's mint chip. i shared some with the sidewalk too!

sand castles

i love sand castles. why - you might ask? i was first inspired by the turtle and that crazy duck from Baby Neptune. they built a glorious castle of sand - the first one i ever saw. now i talk about them A LOT. in the morning. at lunch. at bedtime. even while i'm building them. your job - my faithful readers - is to answer me this: what could be better than a sand castle? the only thing i can think of is a bus. more on that later....

Happy Birthday to Max!

patriots day (or how to keep busy when it is raining)

children's museum










Boston marathon (I cheered for the trains and trucks)

Ella at the Dandelion Party

Some nice people hosted a big get together for the JP Dandelion Group.
I am plotting in the firstpicture.








More wholesome (but somewhat stunned) in the second.









But, most time was spent in good clean fun running and jumping off the padded playthings.



I was ecstatic.
