The Lights Are On... But Nobody's Home.

This is coffee...

...This is your PC on coffee.

Never allow your PC to drink coffee.

SPRING!!!!

A bit more of the grands. . .

We are home after several days in GR with EB and the little girls. We had a great time, but as always, we are glad to be home again, too. How much I begin to understand my parents (and my grandparents too!) and how they loved to come, but going home was a good thing too. Maybe there's a comfort or satisfaction in living life where you are, both in time and geography.Before we left, Little Nora smiled on me! She really did! It was too quick to photograph, but she definitely smiled, from her eyes down to her mouth! It was priceless and I was glad to take it home with me.Carolyn let me braid her hair Sunday. I remember doing this to 3 little girls, one after another! It was like having a room full of dolls.Below, EB and Carolyn at the zoo aquarium.Below, I call this pose "The Michelle," because Michelle used to nap like this all the time when she was tiny. Arms up around her head. I figured she must have spent significant time like this in utero.

Smile on me, Nora!

Carolyn says Nora "smiled on Carolyn." I think she's "smiled on Mama" twice, but I'm still waiting for her to "smile on me!" You can tell she's close, very close.

At the playground

It felt like spring yesterday - sunny and mild. The playground is a great place to be.Carolyn spent lots of time running running running.And Nora stayed chillin' in her mommy's sling.
