Quality Colson time

My husband's cousin Caitlin introduced us to her brand new baby boy Noah yesterday. We enjoyed an afternoon with him as well as little Maggie and Gracie---daughters of Steve's other cousin Dave. It was a rollicking good time. Welcome to the family, Noah!



Steve has a new best buddy.






A new King of the Dimps!


Snack time.



Gracie: "Please, sir. I want some more!"


Done.

My iris

I have one single all-purple iris in the shady corner of my backyard. It is absolutely stunning in full bloom.

Warm and buzzy

The bees were loving my rhodies on a balmy, lazy evening last night. The light was so beautiful.

Mother's Day play

I spent a chilly Mother's Day outside with my nephews yesterday. The afternoon was filled with lots of Wiffle ball and fishing in my aunt's brook. Our casting efforts turned up fruitless but we had lots of fun regardless.

Auntie Janie baits David's hook.

Waiting patiently for a bite.

David and Peti get a snag...on each other's lines!

This cardinal was trying to hone in on our bait supply.

David reels in his biggest catch of the day :).

Build it and they will come

Finally, after two and a half years, the birds finally made their way to my birdhouse. Woo-hoo!

More from the band

It was another festival of fun at Matt's last night. Mayhem ensued, as per usual.




Roadie Max


Enter Spidey to save us from evil villains.

Spidey, will you be my friend?

Gimme that......

MINE!

I'm so ashamed for attempting to steal your identity, Spidey.

Time to make the pizza!

Like father...

Like son!

Crazy delicious!

A short break to digest...

The mayhem begins.....

Matt never disappoints!
