Miles has a sneeze

new duds

Thanks to cousin Rhett for the fantastic new clothes from his first summer. This cutie patootie onesie is Miles' first chance to wear some of them. And thanks to the weather for being in the 70s today, and maybe the 80s tomorrow!

an al fresco dinner

We ate outside on the deck the other day for the first time. Miles seemed to think that was all right. You can see him eating his bananas and carrots here.

Cassie's transformation

She still spends a lot of time sleeping around the house (she IS a cat), but Cassie is now outside for several hours a day, and has already begun to lose her winter weight.

Iowa

I love this picture -- it looks so Iowa to me.

Springtime outing

We went for a walk in the woods a couple of weeks ago, to look at a friend's maple syrup operation. It was a beautiful early spring day.

Some old pics

This is a funny series of pictures I took a few weeks ago. Watch Miles as he tries to make it to the rattle.




Maybe next time.

Isn't Iowa great?

Our friends Bill and Otter, who were one of the six couples that were part of the law suit to legalize gay marriage in Iowa. They'll be married sometime after April 24, when the law takes effect.

Easter bunny from Grammie Sue

Miles thinks it's pretty cool when the bunny sings and dances. Thanks, Grammie Sue!

I love this picture

How cute is that?
