Fire pits really are magic.

“Give us our bunny friends BACK!”

Today a hawk flew off with one of the rabbits that live in our yard. My four year old shouted at the sky “give us our bunny friends BACK!”

Here comes tomorrow

Here's the greatest description of cold brew anybody could ever think up.

Ed Balls Day Luncheon

Nine year old is having - what else - meatballs for his special Ed Balls Day lunch.

Remote tickles

This morning at breakfast, we learned that tickles can now be delivered remotely. Good news if we have to keep social distancing.

Nine!

Happy birthday to you, nine year old!

Saltine House

So much of life now is stuff we really didn’t expect to see, but I _really_ didn’t expect the five year old to build a little house out of saltines and butter today at lunch‬.

Five year old!

Happy birthday big guy!

Leftover Halloween Cookies

Freezing cold and heavy snow can't stop this guy from smiling!
