Spring

Phoebe's new towel for her hair from Grammy
Biking the Greenway to dinner.  We rode 12 miles
round trip to eat Pizza in Uptown.  Only a
few blocks of the ride were off trail in our neighborhood.
First big ride for the year as a family.  Phoebe was wiped,
but did very well.
Kids listening to Star Wars books on CD after
a bath.



Peter was my measuring jig for my post hole depth last week.
I needed to be close to 40", which is his current height. 
This is what the post holes are for--a pole-shed off the garage
that will offer covered bike rack, tool storage, and a small seasonal
greenhouse at the far end.  

Climbing the REI pinnacle.  Phoebe enjoys climbing a lot.
Glad I didn't jettison my gear 11 years ago.

Visiting Maine. We hit maple syrup runs at the
perfect time.  We got to witness and help with
the whole process during the week, including
licking from the pan after the syrup is done
cooking down.

Peter helped . . . a bit.

Jumping on the round bales was a hit again!


Peter and Phoebe got a ride in the tractor
from Ben.

Even if he didn't ride them all, he sat in them all, many times.

Carrie: the first born of 7 goats.  We also were lucky to be
there for all the goats to have their babies while we were
there.  Phoebe got to name the first one.

We drove to Boston early to stay with our friends Ron and Rob
and their twin sons Erez and Ilan.  Phoebe was pretty taken by
their cuteness.  Well, we all were . . .
