photo shoot of house and simon is sick

whit photographed the house friday and saturday for an AIA 2010

design award application, and simon was sick and would only nap in

this position. eric was kind and brought me my ipod.

one of simon's favorite things about his house

trip to the household hazardous waste facility

simon and I wait in line to 'dump' our old paint cans. we didn't

get out of the car to properly document our adventure because

it turns out many people needed to offload paint cans on Wednesday.

simon at 13 months

and so freaking adorable.

playing with amara & emma (and cindy)

amara teaches simon how to use her music table, and sneaks in a kiss. then we played on the playscape and the swings. amara is a fabulous swing pusher.

and it is may and this is the last february post!

simon feeds himself - yum...

walkin

snow day! yeah!

and why is this small amount of snow such a big deal? because

it rarely snows in zone 8. snow at noon - gone in 4 hours.

again just because he's cute

'sweet' boy tries to publish mama's age and mama foils his plans...

music class redux

simon frequently sits with other mamas & papas and 'breaks' my heart

on music day. i'm thrilled he's so comfortable during class, but it is

awkward to sing 'wheels on the bus' and do the motions to myself.

simon and flecther drum together - the kids bang and bang on
the drums until the sticks go back in the bag - very cute.

simon looks at neal with rapt attention every week -

he wiggles in my lap if someone blocks his view - he just
wants to watch neal, the guitar, the movements...

josie cutie
