mama's taking a childcare leave next year!

more time together...at last

Welcome, SUMMER

My official break doesn't begin for about a month, but..today Louie, Mike and I got into the summer-state-of-mind. 

Brighton Beach! 

Flower Arranging- a meditative activity

Louie the little worker

For the past several weeks Louis has been quite interested in the serious 'work' of filling various containers with various substances (mostly water and oatmeal). Here he is today..

First ice cream

Vanilla Bean gelato from L'albero. 

Soothing treat after 18mth shots.

"draw! draw!" says Louie today as we shop for markers..

study in markers, April 2015

Easter in NJ

First egg hunt: 52 Floral Lane.  Favorite egg filling: pieces of Goya Maria crackers/cookies.
(though intrigued by the sacajawea coin)..
Lou loved his new camp chair...sitting in style in his daddy's suit coat from oh so many years ago!
thanks NJ family for a fun day!
